EU CO2 plans

New emission regs are being questioned by UK and German governments

The EU Commission wants all European car makers to achieve fleet average CO2 emissions of just 130g/km between 2012 and 2015. However, both the UK and German governments are requesting a rethink whereby manufacturers that produce between 10,000 and 300,000 units a year (e.g. Jaguar, Land Rover, Porsche) are placed in a special category whereby they would only have to reduce their emissions by 25 per cent from 2006 levels.
