EU Revises 2025 CO2 Emission Benchmarks


(MENAFN) On Tuesday, the Council of the European Union (EU) approved a modification aimed at loosening the carbon dioxide emission standards for new cars and vans. This adjustment allows vehicle manufacturers increased leeway in how they meet the 2025 emissions benchmarks.

According to the Council, the updated regulation will evaluate automakers' adherence to emission limits for 2025, 2026, and 2027 based on an average over three years rather than year-by-year assessments.

This move arrives as European carmakers grapple with mounting demands to reduce carbon output while facing fierce global rivalry and the EU's ambitious objective to achieve zero-emission road transport by 2050.

The revised regulation is set to take effect 20 days following its publication in the EU's Official Journal.
