EU renews carbon cut calls

MORE CUTS PLANNED: The EU continues its charge against reducing CO2 emissions by calling for fresh targets for 2020.

 

The European Union has renewed its call for automakers to lead the fight against climate change, seeking a 2020 target that is 27% below the current limit.
