The automobile industry, represented by ACEA members, has significantly reduced CO2 emissions from new heavy-duty vehicles over the past years, with pollutants emissions also being slashed. The industry is committed to further reducing CO2 from road transport. In May 2018, the European Commission proposed the first-ever EU standards for CO2 emissions from trucks. A 7% CO2 reduction by 2025 is achievable at high cost, but realistic, given the long product and development cycles of trucks. The industry also supports a longer-term, indicative CO2 reduction target of 16% by 2030. An interim review proposed by the European Commission for the year 2022 should allow for adjusting the 2030 CO2 target.
