The statistic shows the average CO2 emissions produced per kilometer by new cars sold by selected manufacturers in Europe in 2019, compared with the 2020/21 targets regulated by the European Union. In 2019, Daimler cars sold throughout Europe produced average carbon dioxide emissions of around 137 grams per kilometer. This was 25 percent away from the 2020/21 target of 102 grams of CO2 per kilometer.

Car CO2 levels in Europe

In 2019, the average new car sold in Europe produced 122 grams of CO2 per kilometer. The 2020/21 CO2 target for the European Union’s passenger car fleet is set at 96 grams per kilometer. European policymakers introduced revised limits on passenger car CO2 emissions.

In order to decrease overall carbon dioxide inventories, the European Union is continuing to promote the introduction of plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles such as Nissan’s Leaf or Toyota’s Prius Plug-in Hybrid. Demand for electric cars continues to grow in many countries.
