BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union needs a leap in the number of electric and hybrid cars on the road over the next decade to succeed in cutting auto carbon emissions significantly by 2025, a British consulting firm found.
The study by Ricardo-AEA will stoke already difficult debate over how to implement a 2020 vehicle emission standard of 95 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer (g/km).
The Commission has said it will publish a document later this year on low carbon car standards beyond 2020.
