CO₂ Emissions from New Passenger Cars in the EU: Car Manufacturers’ Performance in 2017
This briefing paper provides an overview of CO₂ emission levels of new passenger cars in the European Union (EU) in 2017 based on a preliminary dataset recently released by the European Environment Agency (EEA). New cars sold in the EU in 2017 had average CO₂ emissions of 119 g CO₂/km, 1 g/km higher than in 2016, as measured over the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). As a follow-up to the previous year’s briefing, this paper details manufacturers’ performance in terms of CO₂ emissions reduction, fuel and technology trends, and market share. The paper focuses on differences between Member States, as well as between the major manufacturer groups. It also discusses the impact of flexible compliance mechanisms on average CO₂ emission values of manufacturer groups. The preliminary EEA dataset used in this briefing has yet to be validated. The final dataset will be published at the end of 2018, so the specific values used in this report may change. The preliminary data for 2017 should, however, provide relatively reliable results. The ICCT will review the final European emissions data in the forthcoming European Vehicle Market Statistics Pocketbook 2017/2018.
