The European Parliament's Environment Committee 17 page draft report on van CO2 has been issued by its author, Martin Callanan MEP.

He suggests no changes to the Commission's short-term target of 175g/km CO2, phased in from 2014 to 2016.

The Commission's longer term 2020 target rises from 135g/km to 150g/km while the penalty for van makers who exceed the targets drops from €120 to €95 a vehicle.

Callanan also wants 120kph speed limiters in vans from 2015.

The deadline for changes is May 19, with the committee to vote at its 28 September meeting.
