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).
