Fiat Chrysler Automobiles
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is set to exceed EU 2021 fleet emissions targets by 29.4 CO2g/km, which could incur potential fines of €12.3 billion unless action is taken to substantially reduce carbon emissions. On top of this, Fiat Chrysler would have to spend almost 40% of its annual revenue to offset the emissions of 2019 model sales.
The manufacturer’s brands also produced some of the most polluting models in 2019, including the Maserati Levante, the Dodge Caravan and the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The Auto Emissions Report
The Auto Emissions Report created by NetBet Casino dissects industry studies and annual sales reports to reveal how far the ten best-selling auto manufacturers are from meeting 2021 EU carbon emission targets, and how much it would cost them to offset their carbon footprint over the past year.
The EU fleet-wide average emission target of 95 CO2g/km and fines of €95 per CO2g/km are as stipulated by EU legislation. All sales figures are from the latest year available and relate to the European market, or US if not available in the case of the Ram 1500. The following brands were excluded from the analysis due to insufficient sales data: Daihatsu and Abarth.
The average CO2 emissions for each brand is determined by Greenpeace. The cost to offset emissions relates to the mean cost of pulling CO2 from the atmosphere at €150 per tonne. The annual and lifetime running costs of flagship models are based on the emissions of each engine as stipulated by the manufacturers and are multiplied by 20,117 km per year for 12 years, based on the average lifespan of a new car.
Data is gathered from auto manufacturers' annual sales reports, manufacturer sites, EUROPA, transportenvironment.org, Greenpeace, CarSalesBase and Carbon Engineering’s study on pulling CO2 from the atmosphere.
