‘Special report: Are vehicle emissions regulations achievable?’

Automotive World looks at how the auto industry is approaching increasingly stringent emissions targets in some of the world’s major markets

A new Automotive World report looks at how automotive industry stakeholders are preparing for increasingly stringent fuel economy and emissions regulations.

With climate change leading mainstream headlines, city and national regulators have never been under greater pressure reduce the vehicular emissions that cause health and environmental problems. The number of cities calling for bans of diesel-powered vehicles, or even any combustion engine vehicles, is rising, and automakers face growing demand pressure to develop low and zero emission solutions.

Industry as a whole faces a major environmental challenge, and few would argue with the need to cut vehicle emissions. Yet, more often than not, automakers claim emissions regulations are unachievable, while suppliers say they have the solutions the automakers need, and environmental groups criticise regulators for being too lenient.

Automotive World’s report on the challenges and opportunities that come with tightening vehicle emissions regulations presents insight and perspectives from car and truck makers, suppliers, analysts and lobby groups.
