Average CO₂ emissions from new passenger cars and future targets

Until 2020, the assessment of the CO2 performance of manufacturers was based on the CO2 emissions determined in accordance with the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) test procedure. From 2021 onwards, performance and target compliance is assessed on the basis of CO2 emissions under the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP), which is more representative of real-world conditions and therefore results in higher emission values.
