EU car-targets too soft, climate group warns
By EUobserver
Unambitious EU vehicle-emissions targets could see Europe's biggest carmakers produce millions more combustion-engine vehicles than need be by 2030, NGO Transport and Environment has warned. The situation meant a "lost decade" in the fight against climate change, it told The Guardian. Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo and Mercedes-Benz, who all signed the 'COP26' climate pledge, now emitted more carbon than five years ago due to booming sales of gas-guzzling SUV-type models.
