On 8 November 2017, the European Commission presented a legislative proposal setting new CO2 emission standards for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles (vans) in the European Union for the period after 2020. The proposed targets are set for the EU-wide average emissions of new cars and vans in a given calendar year from 2025 on, with stricter targets applying from 2030. The proposal also includes a mechanism to incentivise the uptake of zero- and low-emission vehicles, in a technology-neutral way... The proposed framework [...] will help to meet the objectives set out in the EU 2030 framework for climate and energy... The legislative proposal has been submitted to the European Parliament, the Council, the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions for further consideration under the ordinary legislative procedure.
