Europe’s aggressive new emissions rules put gas engines on notice
&gt; By 2050, the EU says, “nearly all cars and vans on the roads will need to be zero-emission vehicles.” Stricter CO2 emissions standards that came into force at the start of 2020 will be made even tougher. Newly registered cars must reduce emissions by 55-percent, compared to 2021, by 2030, and then by 100-percent by 2035. For new vans, those targets are 50-percent by 20230, and 100-percent by 2035.<p>Way too little and way too late. :&#x2F; In almost every opinion poll in almost every country, the public is overwhelmingly in favor of climate change mitigation measures. It&#x27;s sad that this is the best our politicians can do.
