Monitoring CO2 emissions from new passenger cars and vans in 2017 5 Data sources Data sources Unless otherwise specified, the graphs and tables in • Monitoring of CO2 emissions from vans — this report are based on two data sets for which the Regulation (EU) 510/2011 https://www.eea.europa. EEA is responsible: eu/data-and-maps/data/vans-11 • Monitoring of CO2 emissions from passenger cars — Regulation (EC) No 443/2009: https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/ co2-cars-emission-15 Disclaimer This report documents the latest official data submitted by Member States and vehicle manufacturers. The final CO2 performance for each manufacturer and pool is confirmed by a European Commission Decision. It is important to mention as well that, for both passenger cars and vans, the reported CO2 emissions are based upon measurements performed in the laboratory using a standard European vehicle test cycle. Such measurements may not reflect real-world driving performance. Country groupings Throughout this report, the following abbreviations are used to refer to specific country groupings: • EU-13: Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia; • EU-15: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom; • EU-27: EU-28, excluding Croatia; • EU-28: EU-15 and EU-13. 6 Monitoring CO2 emissions from new passenger cars and vans in 2017 Executive summary Executive summary This report provides a summary of CO2 emission levels Since 2013, the average emissions of new light of new passenger cars and vans in the European Union commercial vehicles have been below the 2017 target in 2017. It is based on data reported by Member States of 175 gCO2/km. The average van registered in the EU to the European Environment Agency (EEA) and verified in 2017 emitted 156.1 gCO2/km, which is 7.5 gCO2/km by manufacturers (1). The report provides an overview less than in 2016. This reduction brings the EU average of the performance of car and van manufacturers emissions 11 % below the 2017 target of 175 gCO2/km towards their 2017 CO2 emission targets. and only 6 % above the 2020 target. Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 (EU, 2009) for passenger Average CO2 emissions from new cars have decreased cars set the average CO2 emissions for new passenger by more than 15 % since 2010, while the emissions cars at 130 gCO2/km by 2015, while Regulation (EU) of new vans have decreased by more than 13 % No 510/2011 (EU, 2011) for light commercial vehicles since 2012. For new vans, average CO2 emissions could set the average CO2 emissions for new light commercial continue decreasing at a similar pace to meet their vehicles at 175 gCO2/km by 2017. Stricter targets EU 2021 targets (Figure ES. 1). will apply under these regulations from 2020 (vans) and 2021 (cars). The difference between provisional average specific emission data, reported by Member States in Since 2013 for cars and 2014 for vans, a binding February 2018 and final average specific emission specific emission target has been calculated for each data, which considered error notifications reported by manufacturer based on a limit value curve according manufacturers by the end of May 2018, was insignificant to the average mass of the new vehicles registered by (< 0.1 gCO2/km for cars and 0.1 gCO2/km for vans). that
