Reducing CO2 Emissions from New Cars: A Study of Major Car Manufacturers’ Progress in 2007
This report examines how carbon dioxide emissions rates of new cars sold in the European Union measured up to models sold the year before.
BMW AG improved fuel efficiency last year at four times the
average rate of major manufacturers, the report found. But the overall
performance of the industry was not enough to meet proposed climate
targets for new cars. Improved fuel efficiency is directly linked to reductions in the CO2 emissions responsible for climate change.

This report focuses on vehicles manufactured by 14 carmakers and calculates the amount of progress still needed to satisfy the EU’s proposed 2012 target.
