CO2 emission standards for new cars and vans

The 'fit for 55' package contains several legislative proposals aimed at reducing CO2 emissions in the transport sector. Emissions in this sector have barely fallen since 2005, because of increased transport demand. One of the proposals addresses road transport emissions by setting stricter CO2 emission standards for new cars and vans. On 27 October 2022, the Parliament and Council reached a trilogue agreement on the proposal. The vote on the agreed text is expected during the Parliament's February II 2023 plenary session.
