European automotive supplier body, CLEPA, says vehicles sold in the EU were, on average, 2.5% more efficient in 2014 than those sold the previous year.
CLEPA is citing a new report from the European Environment Agency (EEA), which updates preliminary data published earlier this year, tracking progress towards CO2 emission targets for new passenger cars and vans.

According to the EEA report, average emissions of a new car sold in 2014 were 123.4 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre (g CO2/km), significantly below the 2015 target of 130g CO2/km set for the EU as a whole.
Similarly, average emissions from vans sold in 2014 were 169,1 g CO2/km, below the limit of 175 g CO2/km.
Compliance with the EU fleet average targets is verified against specific emissions targets set for each car and van manufacturer.
CLEPA adds the report shows almost all manufacturers achieved their individual emissions targets for 2014.
