The European Union (EU) agreed to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from new trucks and buses by 30 per cent by a 2030.
The deal proposes a binding CO2-reduction target for trucks at the EU-level for the first time which includes a clear stimulus for zero and low-emission trucks.
Trucks account for almost one-quarter of the EU’s transport-related emissions and the EU did not have limits on emissions from heavy-duty vehicles till now.
Also, EU agreed in December on targets for cutting emissions from cars and vans.
