European Automobile Manufacturers Association

The European automobile manufacturers are fully committed to reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from cars and have a credible track record of practical, innovative and affordable solutions. To make further progress, concerted effort is required. Climate change is a complex and global challenge. Singling out the automobile industry will fail to achieve sufficient environmental gains and will put car manufacturing in Europe at risk. The sensible solution is an integrated approach, combining further developments in vehicle technology with an increased use of alternative fuels, intelligent traffic management, changes in driving style and car use, and CO2-related taxation. This requires partnership between the fuel industry, policy makers, drivers and the automotive industry.
