CO2 emission standards for cars and vans

Subjects: Standardisation, EC/EU standards and trade mark, certification, compliance · Road transport: passengers and freight · Motor industry, cycle and motorcycle, commercial and agricultural vehicles · Atmospheric pollution, motor vehicle pollution

Rapporteur (the Member appointed to lead Parliament's work on this text): HUITEMA Jan (Renew)

Summary

This procedure strengthens CO2 emission standards for new cars and vans. It runs under the ordinary legislative procedure, in which Parliament and the Council of the EU decide together to enact binding EU law. The committees on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, Industry, Research and Energy, and Transport and Tourism handled it, covering road transport, the motor industry and vehicle pollution. The amendments diverge sharply on ambition: some tighten fleet-wide reduction targets and reference the Paris Agreement and climate neutrality by 2050, while others call zero-emission targets counterproductive and would limit reductions to what is technically feasible. Others add life-cycle and renewable-fuel considerations, obligations on private company fleets, credit pooling between manufacturers, and treatment of plug-in hybrids relative to battery electric vehicles.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
