The European Parliament has approved new CO2 emission standards for new cars and vans in the EU for the 2021-2030 period, in line with the European decarbonation policy and plans to modernise the EU mobility sector. Emissions from new cars will have to be 37.5% lower and emissions from new vans 31% lower, compared to 2021. Technology-neutral incentive mechanism for zero- and low-emission vehicles will be introduced, covering electric or fuel cell vehicles, and vehicles with tailpipe emissions of less than 50 gCO2/km (mainly plug-in hybrid vehicles).
In February 2019, the European Commission and the European Parliament reached a provisional agreement on new CO2 emission standards for trucks for the period after 2020. It stipulated that CO2 emissions from new trucks will have to be 30% lower in 2030 compared to the 2019 emissions. This agreement will have to be formally approved by the European Parliament and the Council to enter into force immediately.
