Frost & Sullivan Walks The Green Mile: ACEA Regulations and Opportunities in CO2-Based Taxation

LONDON -

- Frost & Sullivan to Host Analyst Briefing on the Impact of CO2 Tax Branding in Europe on Tuesday, 8 September, 2009 at 3:00 pm BST

To remain competitive while meeting EU carbon dioxide norms set for 2012, vehicle manufacturers must pinpoint which technologies can sufficiently reduce their CO2 fleet average within the next three years. Some vehicle manufacturers are looking to hybrids for the solution while others turn to more efficient gasoline and diesel engines.

To provide decision makers with a strategic analysis of the impact of CO2 tax branding in Europe and to share Frost & Sullivan’s perspective on CO2 reduction strategies, the Automotive & Transportation Group at Frost & Sullivan (www.transportation.frost.com) is pleased to announce that it will be hosting an online analyst briefing presentation on ACEA regulations and opportunities in CO2-based taxation on Tuesday, 8 September, 2009 at 3:00pm BST.

This briefing will benefit system suppliers, component and materials manufacturers as well as vehicle manufacturers by providing key insights on the technologies that vehicle manufactures are likely to adopt in the coming years.

“OEMs will be adopting different technologies such as downsized engines, GDI, and hybrids in order to reduce their fleet average. However, what is most important is whether this will sufficiently reduce their fleet CO2 average before 2012 and where it places them competitively after 2015,” observes Frost & Sullivan analyst Hariher B.
