Mazda Motor Corporation
Mazda Motor Corporation is the second farthest from meeting EU 2021 emissions targets with average annual fleet emissions of 135 CO2g/km in 2019, placing the manufacturer 40.2 CO2g/km over. Without a substantial reduction in fleet emissions, the corporation stands to be fined 35.3% of its annual revenue, while also spending €10.4 billion to offset its emissions from 2019 sales.
Although the manufacturer is far from meeting EU targets, the best-selling model from brand Mazda was the second-least polluting on the market overall last year.

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.
