Reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions from trasport
Abstract
Transport is responsible for around a quarter of World greenhouse gas emissions making it the
second biggest greenhouse gas emitting sector after industry. Road transport alone contributes about onefifth of the EU's total emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). While emissions from other sectors are
generally falling, those from transport have continued to increase until 2008 when transport emissions
started to decrease on the back of oil prices, increased efficiency of passenger cars and slower growth in
mobility. The paper presents the information on EU measures to reduce fuel consumption, as well as CO2
emissions from road transport introducing limits for CO2 emission from passenger cars, vans and heavy
duty trucks. These limits follow ACEA voluntary agreement on fuel consumption reduction and define
the targets for CO2 emission in the year 2015 and 2020.
