EU car CO2 standards are a modern day climate and industrial policy, pushing investment into automotive transformation and securing supply of affordable electric cars to achieve zero carbon transport in Europe. T&E’s analysis shows that the 2020/21 standard of 95g/km will result in plug-in sales of 10% this year and 15% in 2021, making Europe a leading electric car market.

T&E welcomes the opportunity to input into the design of the impact assessment regarding van CO2 standards, and advocates to: (1) Assess CO2 emission reduction targets of 20% for 2025, 31% for 2027 (brought forward from 2030), at least 60% for 2030, at least 86% for 2033 and 100% for 2035 (i.e.

Recommendation on impact assessment – Ref. Ares (2020)6081912 - 29/10/2020 CO2 emissions for cars and vans - revision of performance standards The European Union and Germany have set themselves ambitious targets for climate protection. The tightening of the climate targets for 2030 and 2050, combined with stricter CO2-emission targets for cars and vans, has very significant economic and social implications.

Transport & Environment feedback on car CO2 standards. Transport & Environment (T&E) welcomes the Commission’s (EC) proposal for a revision of the EU CO2 standards for cars. The 2020/21 EU car CO2 standards have resulted in an unprecedented drop in CO2 emissions from new cars (18%) compared to 2019, driven by the production and sale of a growing offer of EVs (reaching 16% in the first half of 2021).

Linked to the surge in home deliveries, vans are the EU’s fastest growing source of road transport emissions. Unlike for cars, the EU's van CO₂ standards have failed to put electric vans on the market in any real numbers. Only 2% of van sales were electric in 2020, compared to 11% for cars. The Commission’s Fit for 55 proposal that all new vans must be zero emission from 2035 is welcome.

Emobility is at the core of decarbonising Europe’s transport, since all new cars and vans and most new trucks sold in early-2030s will have to be zero emission if Europe is to comply with the Paris Agreement. This requires a speedy and comprehensive roll-out of charging infrastructure across Europe, but the current Directive 2014/94/EU is not aligned with EU’s climate goals or in line with the expected roll-out of…

Zukunft ERDGAS sees the objectives of the AFI directive as utterly important to build up a CNG station infrastructure in Germany. However, the current implementation in Germany is not supporting a sufficient development of CNG infrastructure. Generally, Germany does not meet the recommended infrastructure targets of the AFI directive.
