The CEPS Task Force on Transport and Climate Change has concluded that the EU Commission’s ambitious target to reduce CO2 emissions from transport by 60% by 2050 is possible but requires immediate action and a comprehensive policy strategy that needs to be both credible and adequate. The key element of this strategy is the steady tightening of efficiency and carbon standards for vehicles and fuels in line with the technological frontier. Such standards would need to be technology-neutral, predictable and progressive, also to provide assurance to manufacturers and their suppliers, technology providers and operators as to the speed and direction of emerging standards.
The objective of this workshop is therefore to review the current system of CO2 standards for vehicles and fuel quality standards and analyse potential improvements that could drive long-term decarbonisation of the transport sector. The workshop will take a broad perspective and will include discussions on well-to-wheel emissions, test procedure and cycle as well as the metric for efficiency standards.
