A proposal to regulate CO2 emissions from new light commercial vehicles (vans) is currently being decided by the European institutions.
T&E believes the proposal should contain the following three key points:
1. The short-term target should be set at 160 g/km by 2015.
2. The 2020 target should be set at 125 g/km. This represents a 38% reduction based on 2007 levels, and matches in ambition the 40% reduction required for cars to achieve 95 g CO2/km by 2020.
3. Vans should be equipped with speed limiters set at 100 km/h. This would reduce on-road CO2 emissions by a further 8%.
