European Union Fuel Economy Standards

European Union Fuel Economy Standards are regulations that set average fuel efficiency targets for vehicle manufacturers across member countries. They aim to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging the production of more fuel-efficient cars and trucks. Manufacturers must meet these standards collectively, influencing the types of vehicles they sell in Europe. The standards help promote environmental sustainability, energy conservation, and cleaner transportation options, while still allowing consumers to choose from a range of vehicle types. Compliance is typically monitored through sales data, driving the automotive industry toward greener innovation.
