In 2019, the EU came up with a regulation to help reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). The EU Commission estimates that passenger cars and light vehicles are responsible for 16% and 3% of the emissions, respectively. The regulation was amended on April 2023 to reflect the EU's ambitions to reach climate neutrality by 2015. Here are the contents of the regulation<ref>https://climate.ec.europa.eu/eu-action/transport/road-transport-reducing-co2-emissions-vehicles/co2-emission-performance-standards-cars-and-vans_en</ref>: | In 2019, the EU came up with a regulation to help reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2).

* At the end of 2023, CO2 emissions of Volkswagen's European new passenger car fleet was 119 g/km (WLTP)<ref name=":1">https://drive.google.com/file/d/18DCVH2mqQk35SYi2qipMHT2F0h9s3yjL/view?usp=drive_link</ref>. | |||
* Volkswagen's new light commercial vehicles in the EU had an average emission of 187 g/km at the end of 2023. | |||
* Volkswagen Group assumes that its new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles fleet in the EU will meet the 2025 statutory target<ref name=":1" />. | |||
* In 2021, Volkswagen's statutory target was 121.6 g/km (based on WLTP). Statutory targets are differs from the EU emission targets since it takes into account pooling<ref>https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/analysis/indicators/co2-performance-of-new-passenger?activeAccordion=ecdb3bcf-bbe9-4978-b5cf-0b136399d9f8</ref>. If the statutory target reduces by 15% in 2025, it means Volkswagen still has a gap of 15.6 g/km for passenger cars.
