Road transport accounts for about one quarter of the EU’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To reach the EU’s 2050 climate neutrality goal, transport emissions must be reduced by 90% by mid-century. To support the transition to clean road mobility in Europe, CO2 emission standards have been set for new cars, vans, and heavy-duty vehicles, with progressively increasing emission reduction targets for vehicle manufacturers. These standards provide long-term certainty and predictability for investors along the value chain, while allowing sufficient time for a fair transition. Additionally, the Car Labelling Directive supports car buyers in making sustainable choices, contributing to cleaner road transport.
