Automakers far behind EU emission plans

If the EU can't do it, can America?

The European Union has been far more vocal than the US when it comes to action on global warming emissions. Yet, companies selling autos in the EU have not been matching those words with their actions.

According to reports, "European Federation for Transport and Environment showed that, on average, carmakers were last year 17 percent behind the target, a change of just two percentage points over the previous year and thus far off the necessary CO2 reduction rate."
