摘要

Negotiators for the European Parliament announced June 25 that they struck a deal with the European Council for a 95 gram-per-kilometer (g/km) limit on passenger vehicle carbon dioxide (CO2) starting in 2020. The new limit is a 35-g/km cut from the 130 g/km limit in 2015. Dieselization has been a key strategy for European automaker compliance with CO2 limits. According to the official EuroParl news service, European People’s Party Member of Parliament (MEP) Thomas Ulmer announced finalization of the new deal. “I am happy that we could confirm the 95 grams [CO2] target,” Ulmer said.
