Europe gives auto firms [CO.sub.2] break

Manufacturing & Technology News, Jan 24, 2008

> The European Parliament has voted in favor of a European automobile industry request to lengthen the time it is being provided to reduce carbon emissions from new automobiles. The so-called Competitive Automotive Regulatory System for the 21st Century (CARS 21) asked that the average target for carmakers should be 125 g/km of [CO.sub.2] emissions by 2015, rather than the EC proposal of 120 g/km by 2012.
