CO2 emissions from trucks in the European Union: an analysis of the 2020 reporting period

Summary:

Official certification data on the CO₂ emissions of new trucks are published annually by the European Environment Agency (EEA) since 2019. Based on the data reported for 2020, this report tracks the progress of manufacturers towards their 2025 emissions reduction target, assesses their performance in different technology areas, and identifies each manufacturer’s chosen technology pathway to comply with the standards.

The analysis finds that average fleet specific emissions of trucks covered by the CO2 standards decreased from 52.5 gCO₂/tkm to 52.0 gCO₂/tkm between 2019 and 2020. To comply with the CO2 targets det for 2025, an average annual reduction of 2.5% is required. As such, most manufacturers are currently not on track to achieve the target.
