EU agrees to limit CO2 emissions by trucks

Negotiators on behalf of 28 EU governments, the European Parliament, and European Commission agreed in the early hours of Tuesday to limit CO2 emissions by trucks. They settled on a 15% reduction by 2025, compared to 2019, and 30% by 2030. It was the first time CO2 targets were set for trucks.
