The Commission is urged to make an effective car CO2 proposal including:
• A binding sales target for zero emission vehicles of at least 15% in 2020 and 35% in 2030
• An overall level of emissions reductions should be at least 35% from 2021 – 2030 with a binding mid-term target in 2025
• An enforcement mechanism to ensure that the FULL emissions cut is delivered on the road
