The European Commission introduced new emission limits for carmakers.
It seemed that the German carmakers will have the most work. The new limits brought howls of protest and not least from the German chancellor, Merkel. Now the proposed ceiling was raised a little, to 130 grams of CO2 per kilometre to be met by 2012.
However, the makers of the well known prestigious German cars, have still the most work because in the European Unio only six German-made models meet the target. And this is nothing compared with the cars made by competitors. 34 non-German models stay under the new emission limit.
Of course this is not nice to hear. Although the German cars are really beauties.. If you look from the green side, the score very badly.
Also for a country that likes to lead the way on the environment isn't this good news.
Spending more money to research and development instead of making greater volume of cars can be a solution, but that seems not quite easy for most of the German constructors, like BMW or Mercedes.
In the future the rules for carmakers will definately become more strictly, so it's a must for the carmakers, en in special the Germans, that they keep going on with finding solutions for the huge CO2 emissions of cars.

It's really necessary that the rules of the car makers become more strictly, because the high CO2 emissions are one of the most polluted materials for the environment. But I'm sure specialists will find solutions for that.
