European carmakers are unlikely to meet their voluntary target to cut CO2 emissions significantly over the next decade.

Back in 1998, the European carmakers association, ACEA, pledged to reduce the new car fleet average C02 emissions to 140 grams per kilometer by 2008, a 25 percent reduction from 1995.

It also said it would cut emissions to 120g/km by 2012.

ACEA monitoring figures to be released next month will show that emissions for 2002 were 165g/km - a slight rise from the 2001 figure of 164g/km.
