Carmakers may face billions of euros in fines for excessive CO2 emissions

posted: Friday 14 December 2007 by Fabio Sciarra in: Misc

European carmakers could be about to face billions of euros in penalties this year for failing to meet EU pollution limits. German newspapers reported the news. We argue this is not casual since german carmakers resulted among the most polluting european companies in terms of CO2 emissions. From the same study, Italian and French brands ditinguished themselves as the best ones for low emission vehicles.

Brussels may charge 95 euros per gram and per car for excess carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Check back for updates.
