EU reaches compromise deal on car emission capsDeal gives European car makers more time to cut CO2 emissions from new vehicles and relaxes penalties for pollution but ties them into a more ambitious longer-term target
all new cars were to emit 130g/km of carbon dioxide by 2012, as an average across a manufacturer's fleet. That compares to current levels of almost 160g.
Yesterday's deal also set a new and lower target of 95g/km for emissions by 2020 - that had not been stipulated in the draft legislation.
