Blissfully unaware of things to come, January 2020 started with an unprecedented drop in new car CO2 emissions across Europe and booming electric car sales. This was not due to T&E’s 2019 wish to Santa Claus, or due to drivers suddenly changing their preferences. The reason was the quiet entry into force of the long awaited 2020/21 car CO2 rules.

Huge investments, a large selection of plug-in models and soaring sales followed.
