Today, the European commission proposed to ban cars that emit more than 130 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer since 2012. The Czech Republic is a car superpower - 850,000 cars were produced in 2006 - which is why they care. They estimate that the price of a new car could jump by $1500-$3500, depending on the unknown price of new technologies. Škoda, joke no more, joined Audi in driving Volkswagen's profits. If the eurobureaucrats introduce the caps, Škoda will probably relocate its production to its Russian or Indian plants.
Older (1997) and (slash) recent (2005) average emissions of cars from various companies are:
- Fiat - 169/139
- Citroen - 172/144
- Renault - 173/149
- Ford - 180/151
- Peugeot - 177/151
- Opel - 180/156
- Toyota - 189/163
- Kia - 202/170
- Škoda - 165/152
- Seat - 158/150
- Honda - 184/166
- Mercedes - 223/185
- Hyundai - 189/170
- Volkswagen - 170/159
- BMW - 216/192
- Volvo - 219/195
- Audi - 190/177
- Mazda - 186/177
- Suzuki - 169/165
- Nissan - 177/172
