There is a growing urgency throughout the world for the automotive industry to reduce its impact on the environment. The European CO2 standardisation process remains pivotal in the dialogue between the European Union and the automotive industry in Europe. As a leader in the fight against climate change with ambitious CO2 targets, the EU is set to initiate new legislative frameworks towards a more successful integrated approach by defining better policy objectives and different methods of facilitating European cycle of efficiency. The demanding targets and heavy burden among manufacturers bring forward several key issues such as carbon trading schemes, car taxation instruments and automotive innovation including funding, research and development. The European Union now has an opportunity to support the creation of new markets in Europe as well as encourage a sustainable and competitive Europe. The future collaboration between legislation and automotive developments will prove to be critical in shaping the future of European CO2 regulation.

This one-day conference will provide a timely opportunity to explore some of the key issues being faced within CO2 regulation in Europe. In addition, the day will provide a high-level forum for local practitioners, businesses, consultancies and EU officials to exchange ideas, explore effective ways towards achieving reasonable European CO2 emission standards as well as solutions to overcome the current hurdles that create fragmentation of the car market.
