Carmakers say new EU emissions targets are ‘totally unrealistic’

London (CNN Business)The auto industry is pushing back on new EU targets that would slash carbon emissions produced by cars and vans.

EU officials struck a deal late Monday that aims to reduce automakers’ carbon dioxide emissions from new cars by 37.5% ahead of 2030. The targeted reduction for new vans is 31%.
The European Automobile Manufacturers Association, which represents carmakers including Volkswagen, Daimler, BMW, Renault (RNSDF), Toyota (TM) and Honda (HMC), criticized the measure as “totally unrealistic.”
