In the last two years the specific emissions lowering trend of new vehicles has stopped and the objective achivement could be easily compromised. Because of the large difference between factory data on energy use and emissions and actual data the estimation of the indicator is doubtful. The average emissions of all vehicles declined sharply in 2017 but at least a similar or a greater reduction in future years will be needed in order to achieve the goal. In order to achieve both objectives, the implementation of measures in this area will have to be strengthened.
