EU Legislation, Initiatives, etc.

DfT: Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly has launched a consultation (closes on 3 October 2008) on EU proposals to introduce compulsory CO2 targets for high volume new cars, which should reduce carbon emissions, make cars more fuel efficient and cut the running costs. 
 
This regulation aims to achieve a EU-wide reduction in the average CO2 emissions of new cars by setting mandatory targets for individual car manufacturers. The proposed target of 130gCO2/km by 2012 as the fleet average for each car manufacturer across the EU for all new cars will not only be an step forward in tackling climate change, it will also incentivise the use of technology that will improve the fuel efficiency of new cars.
