Can truck makers and fleets meet new European CO2 targets?

The European Union has made its first attempt to regulate heavy-duty vehicles. In May 2018, the European Commission (EC) presented a legislative proposal that set targets for average CO2 emissions from new lorries. The proposal was bold—aiming to slash the emissions of new vehicles registered in the EU by 15% of 2019 levels by 2025 and stretching to 30% by the end of the decade. This year, the rules received the green light.
