Monitoring of CO2 emissions from passenger cars – Regulation 443/2009

The Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 requires Member States to record information for each new passenger car registered in its territory. Every year, each Member State shall submit to the Commission all the information related to their new registration. In particular, the following details are required for each new passenger car registered: manufacturer name, type, variant, version, make and commercial name, specific emissions of CO2, mass in running order, wheel base and track width. Additional information, such as fuel type, fuel mode and engine capacity were also submitted.

This is the latest published version. See older versions.

Additional information

The data has been submitted by Member States at the beginning of 2010, preliminary published at the end of june, following a three months scrutiny period during which manufacturers had the possibility to notify the Commission of any errors in the data. Sixteen Manufacturers have notified and the Commission together with EEA has considered those notifications and, where appropriate, amended the provisional calculations of the average specific emissions and the targets.

The data are required for the calculation by the Commission of the average specific emissions of CO2 from new passenger cars and for setting the specific emissions targets that shall be met by car manufacturers. The database provides the detailed data without taking into account other factors required for the calculation of specific emissions targets, such as phase-in percentages, credits for low emitting vehicles and E85 fuelled vehicles, or eco-innovation credits. In order to calculate the average specific emissions and specific emission targets the Commission considered only those vehicles for which emission and mass are available.
