Europe Suggests Emissions Limits on Small Trucks
By JAMES KANTER
Published: October 28, 2009
Summary:The European Commision proposed emissions limits for light trucks and vans Wednesday and said that carmakers would not be permitted to use them to increase production of sport utility vehicles. Vans and light trucks make up about 11 percent of road vehicle sales in Europe.The proposal is modeled on recent legislation enacted in Europe that aims to cut car emissions by a fifth on average in 2015, to 130 grams a kilometer.
Response: While this is a good thing for the environment, the article seemed to mock the United States for wasting so much gas and having such big cars. While this may be true, it still was annoying to read an aritcle that made fun of our country.
