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).

The above targets are just reference targets. Each car maker has a difference conversion factor for 2025 based on their average WLTP and NEDC emissions in 2020. As such the EU mass adjustment figure in 2025 is expected to be reduced by 21%<ref>https://te-cdn.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/files/2024_04_Carmakers_compliance_2025_targets.pdf</ref>. | |||
