Automakers including Volvo, Toyota, and Renault set to cut down their emissions to 95g/km by 2020, prompting NGO to lay blame on manufacturers over green regulations. Toyota Ford and Renault are the six European automakers who are taking the issue very seriously and are on the right track to meet the targets as Europeans do. According to the research results from a survey conducted by Transport and Environment, these automakers are well set to meet the required standards before given time.
All these manufacturers are working with very high rate of success and if they continue with their present rate of success then Toyota and Volvo will definitely meet the required 95g/km of CO2 emission rates in all their cars, three years prior to their given time of 2021.
Peugeot-Citroen, Ford and Daimler are also working very hard to get in-line with other three fellows, and are briefed in detail to cross the legally required verge in 2020. Nissan and Volkswagen are also class leading automakers but they are keeping the targets as government requires doing, they will comply with the regulations in 2021.
However some car makers are struggling to achieve these required emission targets but it can be possible without any booster. Fiat is missing the target by one year while BMW and GM by three. Asian automakers including Suzuki are far behind but they have different date to do, it is 2023 to achieve, Mazda and Hyundai have 2025 while Honda has 2027 to comply with the standards.
The commission has also taken into account the heavy and commercial vehicles in the first phase and they have announced that they are starting from commercial trucks to check out the emissions while buses and coaches are the next.
Now directions are very clear to reduce the emissions in next few years but the point is that till 2027 almost 35% more vehicles will join the party and there are millions and millions aged vehicles are already serving the EU, so as the directions are clear, is the future of motoring also clear?
