Almost all car and van manufacturers have met European carbon dioxide emission limits several years ahead of their deadlines, according to updated information from the European Environment Agency (EEA).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A new EEA report, ‘Monitoring CO2 emissions from passenger cars and vans in 2013<\/a>‘ presents final data for both vehicle types, updating preliminary data published earlier this year. <\/p>\n

The average passenger car sold in 2013 emitted 126.7 grams of carbon dioxide per passenger kilometre (g CO2\/km), already below the legal threshold of 130 g CO2\/km to be fully reached by 2015. Similarly, the average van sold must have emissions below 175 g CO2\/km by 2017, but levels were already at 173.3 g CO2\/km last year, according to the updated data from manufacturers and Member States. <\/p>\n

There were 11.8 million new cars and 1.2 million new vans registered in the EU in 2013. While both fleets overall are making progress in reducing emission levels, the picture is more mixed when manufacturers are considered individually. Each manufacturer has an individual emissions target, based on the average mass of the vehicles they sell. <\/p>\n
