Volvo Cars continue to show leadership! Further to their battery passport milestone in June 2024, they are also leading the way in emissions reduction, according to recent analysis by The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT). In the study on 2025 CO2 targets for new passenger cars in Europe, Volvo Cars stands out as having already achieved CO2 emissions levels that already meet 2025 targets, reflecting a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. For other manufacturers, the ICCT study highlights that they will need to raise their battery electric vehicle (BEV) share by up to 12 percentage points on average to reach 2025 CO2 targets, increasing from about 16% in 2023 to approximately 28% by 2025.
