Proposed CO₂ emission reduction targets for HGVs in the EU 2025-2040
In 2023, the European Commission proposed new carbon dioxide emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles. If adopted, the new regulations would require new HDVs to cut their CO₂ emissions per kilometer by 90 percent by 2040, relative to 2019 levels. Heavy-duty vehicles, such as trucks and buses, account for more than a quarter of CO₂ emissions from road transportation in the EU.
