據油價網2月14日消息稱，根據歐盟委員會的一份聲明，歐盟委員會周二提出了對重型車輛更嚴格的二氧化碳排放規定，要求到2040年，所有新卡車的排放量減少90%，到2030年，所有新城市公交車的排放量在短短7年內為零。

 

歐盟的目標不僅是幫助歐盟在2050年之前接近溫室氣體凈零排放目標，而且還要減少化石燃料的進口。據路透社周二報道，各國已經達成協議，到2035年，新車將實現無二氧化碳排放。

 

歐盟委員會表示：“道路運輸部門占歐盟溫室氣體排放量的五分之一，是城市空氣污染的主要原因。”該委員會補充說，運輸部門是歐盟唯一一個排放量近年來持續上升的部門。重型卡車和公共汽車的溫室氣體排放量占歐盟道路運輸溫室氣體排放量的25%以上，占歐盟溫室氣體排放總量的6%。

 

歐盟委員會建議，到2040年，制造商必須將其銷售的新卡車的典型二氧化碳排放量在2019年的基礎上削減90%。

 

他們還必須從2035年開始減少65%的二氧化碳排放。

 

歐盟目前選擇了90%的目標，而不是100%的目標，因為歐盟氣候政策負責人弗朗斯·蒂默曼斯表示，零排放技術尚未適用于所有卡車，他們也不知道何時會實現。

 

最終目標仍然是汽車和卡車的二氧化碳排放量減少100%，但歐盟沒有就何時改變目標發表評論。

EU Eyes 90% CO2 Cut By 2040 For Trucks

 

The European Commission proposed tighter CO2 rules for heavy-duty vehicles on Tuesday, mandating that all new trucks reduce emissions by 90% by 2040 and all new city buses emit zero emissions starting in just 7 years, by 2030, according to a statement from the European Commission.

 

The EU’s objective is not only to help the EU get closer to its zero net greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, but to reduce its imported fossil fuels as well. There is already an agreement for new cars to be CO2-free by 2035, Reuters reported on Tuesday.

 

“The road transport sector represents one fifth of the EU’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and is the main cause of air pollution in cities,” the Commission said, adding that the transport sector is the only sector in the EU where emissions have continued to rise in recent years. Heavy-duty trucks and buses are responsible for more than 25% of GHG emissions from road transport in the EU and 6% of total EU GHG emissions.

 

The Commission suggested that manufacturers must have to cut the typical CO2 emissions of the new trucks they sell by 90% from 2019 levels by 2040.

 

They would also have to reduce CO2 by 65% starting in 2035.

 

The EU opted for a 90% target instead of a 100% target for now because, according to EU climate policy chief Frans Timmermans, zero-emissions technologies isn’t yet available for all trucks, and they don’t know when it will be.

 

The ultimate goal is still a 100% reduction in CO2 emissions for cars and trucks, but the EU did not comment on when the target might be shifted.
