The ·¬ÇÑÊÓƵadvocates that CO2 taxes should not be collected by consumer countries but at the source of the global oil market, in the oil producing countries. Indeed, over a period of approximately 15 years, the road transport industry has dramatically reduced CO2 emissions and increased fuel efficiency. In 2006, a Euro V truck emits 97% less CO and particulates than a Euro 0 truck in 1990. The industry has therefore faced up to its responsibilities and invested heavily in the latest technologies, thus achieving a massive reduction in emissions.
