ICCT: decline in diesel sales will have negligible impact on attainment of European CO2 emission standards

Green Car Congress

The current decline is ales of diesel light duty vehicle in Europe does not put EU CO 2 targets out of reach of automakers, according to a new analysis by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT). Hybrid electric vehicles can provide efficiency gains over diesel power trains at lower CO 2 abatement costs.

Bosch study highlights potential of e-fuels to reduce CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

In this way, the cost of exhaust-gas treatment can be reduced, Bosch adds. Pilot projects to commercialize synthetic diesel, gasoline, and gas are currently underway in Norway and Germany. Nor will anything change for the drivers of older vehicles, as even classic cars will still run on synthetic gasoline.
