emissions from cars have slipped

from 140.2g/km in 2010 The extent of the progress made by the industry of late can be judged from the EU’s average CO2 emissions from cars of 161g/km in 2004 and 185g/km in 1995 EU demands that average CO2 emission from cars must be cut to 130g/km from 2015, initially greeted by widespread weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth at most autoindustry headquarters, will probably be met at least a year early. 135.5 g/km

mandatory target for 2015 have
progressed significantly faster and more effectively than
first feared
