CO2 2012

10 June 2016 #Reports Archive

SMMT produces an annual new car CO2 report which details the car market by tailpipe CO2 performance. The reports were first published in 2001 and demonstrate the SMMT’s desire to be transparent about the industry’s environmental performance. The data is derived by SMMT from linking vehicles’ CO2 levels to the SMMT new vehicle registration database. This allows the market to be studied by fuel type, sales type, segment and by various taxation measures, such as Vehicle Excise Duty. The reports also look at influences on the performance, total CO2 emissions from all cars in use and ways to achieve future gains.
