European Environment Agency
Efforts to improve the fuel efficiency of new cars sold in the European Union (EU) stalled in 2017 compared to 2016, according to provisional data published today by the European Environment Agency (EEA). At 118.5 grammes (g) of carbon dioxide (CO2) per kilometre (g CO₂/km), new passenger cars registered in 2017 emitted on average 0.4 g CO₂/km more than in 2016. German average new car CO₂ emissions are among the highest in the EU at 127.1 g CO₂/km, according to the data.
