From 2021 onwards, the automobile industry must reduce CO2 emissions of new cars to 95 g CO2/km. This is due to a new European standard which manufacturers and the industry must adhere to.

Nearly 30% of the used cars currently for sale in our country have been waiting on a new owner for more than four months. This accounts for unsold stock at a total market value of 805.2 million. This was established through research conducted by Gocar DATA, the data analysis specialist on the vehicle market. Four months is really long, especially when you realise dealers usually expect a car to be sold within two months at most. In the meanwhile, the costs to keep them in stock keep on rising - up to 840 euro per car - so more and more dealers have been forced to look towards other European markets. That's why Gocar DATA entered into partnership with CarsOnTheWeb, the international online auction website for the car trade.

The result: an extensive 80-page piece of work that shows the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of all types of electric vehicles and compares it to those with combustion engines.

CarsOnTheWeb, the online vehicle auction website, has launched game-changing features to guide customers towards immediate auction success, making vehicle auctions more exciting than ever before.

During the past decade, the modular platform has revolutionized the production of our vehicles and expanded the range of automobiles. This technical and economical tool has transformed the automobile landscape, without drivers knowing.
