EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT 

Monitoring the CO2 emissions from cars in the EU: 
data for the years 2005, 2006 and 2007 

INTRODUCTION 

1. 
In  February  2007,  the  Commission  adopted  a  Communication1  outlining  a  comprehensive 
new  strategy  to  reduce  carbon  dioxide  emissions  from  new  cars  and  vans  registered  in  the 
European  Union.  The  new  strategy,  together  with  a  revision  of  EU  fuel  quality  standards 
proposed  on  31  January  2007,  further  underlines  the  Commission's  determination  to  ensure 
that the EU meets its greenhouse gas emission targets under the Kyoto Protocol and beyond. 
The  strategy  aims  at  reaching  the  EU's  long-established  objective  of  limiting  average  CO2 
emissions from new cars to 120 grammes per km by 2012 - a reduction of around 25% from 
current levels. The central part of the strategy consists of Community regulation on the CO2 
emissions from new passenger cars as proposed in December 20072. 

The  CO2  emissions  from  new  passenger  cars  have  been  monitored  already  as  part  of  the 
earlier  strategy3  on  CO2  from  cars.  Following  Article  9  of  Decision  1753/2000/EC4  the 
Commission  is  required  to  submit  to  the  European  Parliament  and  Council  reports  for  each 
calendar year on the effectiveness of the strategy based on the monitoring data submitted by 
Member  States5.  The  present  Communication  concerns  the  monitoring  data  for  2005,  2006 
and 2007.

EVOLUTION OF AVERAGE CO2 EMISSIONS FOR THE NEW CAR FLEET 
IN THE EU IN 2005, 2006 AND 2007 

Average CO2 emissions for the new car fleet in 2005, 2006 and 2007 

2.1. 
Following  the  enlargement  of  the  EU6  on  1  May  2004  and  1  January  2007,  data  on  the 
average  CO2  emissions  for  the  new  car  fleet  became  available  for  the  EU25  and  EU27 
Member States. For the monitoring years 2005, 2006 and 2007 the following table7 presents 
the EU15, EU10, EU25 and EU 27 situation:

In 2005, the CO2 average9  for  the  EU25  was  161g/km.  The  CO2 average for  the EU10 was 
approximately 2.5% lower than for the EU15. The total number of registrations in the EU10 
accounted  for  about  5%  of  the  registrations  in  the  EU25.  In  the  EU10,  almost  72%  of  the 
vehicles were petrol fuelled while in the EU15 the petrol share was just below 50%. 

In  2006,  the  CO2  average  for  the  EU25  decreased  by  1g/km  to  reach  160g/km.  The  CO2 
average for the EU10 was 2.5% lower than for the EU15. The total number of registrations in 
the  EU10  accounted  for  about  5%  of  the  registrations  in  the  EU25  (a  slight  increase  from 
4.8% in 2005, to 4.9% in 2006). The EU10 share of petrol vehicles amounted to 71% while in 
the EU15 the petrol share dropped to 48.5%. There was thus an increase in the share of diesel 
vehicles in both parts of the EU but at different absolute levels. 

In  2007,  the  CO2  average  for  the  EU25  decreased  to  158g/km,  1.25%  down  compared  to 
160g/km  for  2006.  The  EU27  average  CO2  was  also  158g/km.  The  EU27  share  of  petrol 
vehicles was 47.7%. The share of petrol vehicles dropped further for the EU15 (46.4%) and

Excluding Bulgaria as no data for the year 2007 was delivered. 
Emission  values  for  vehicles  of  associations  ACEA,  JAMA  and  KAMA  and  other  manufacturers  are 
corrected by 0,7% for the change in driving cycle, more information related to this change can be found 
in COM(2004) 78 final.

the  EU10  (67.9%).  Compared  to  the  number  of  registrations  in  the  EU27,  the  EU1210 
accounted for about 7.2% (5.2% for the EU10)11. 

Vehicle Mass 

2.2. 
In 2006, the average vehicle mass12 for the EU25 was 1372kg, while in 2005 it was 1357 kg13. 
This  represents  an  increase  of  1.1%  in  2006  compared  to  2005,  and  an  increase  of  0.7%  in 
2005 compared to 2004. 

In 2007, the EU25 average vehicle mass was 1382kg. The EU27 average mass for the same 
year was 1380kg and thus almost the same as for the EU25. This is to be expected as Bulgaria 
and Romania have a relatively small share in the market and are not expected to influence the 
EU27 average significantly. Additional details are shown in the Annex, Table 2. 

Further details concerning the emission levels, average mass and fleet composition over time 
can  be  found  in  the  Annex.  The  revised  strategy  on  CO2  from  cars  no  longer  distinguishes 
between  different  manufacturer's  associations.  However,  disaggregated  data  by  association 
are also included in the Annex for reasons of continuity. 

2.3. 

Data quality 

Decision  1753/2000/EC  establishing  a  scheme  to  monitor  the  average  specific  emissions  of 
CO2  from  new  passenger  cars  was  adopted  by  the  European  Parliament  and  Council  on  30 
August  2000.  Data  collected  under  this  Decision  for  the  year  2002  onwards  are  used  as 
official data. For earlier years, data supplied by the associations were used for the monitoring.  

The  availability  of  specific  CO2  emission  values  of  newly  registered  passenger  cars  was 
improved  due  to  the  increased  use  of  the  type  approval  documents  and  Certificates  of 
Conformity  (CoC)14.  This  resulted  in  an  enhancement  of  the  Member  States’  databases  and 
reduced  the  potential  for  errors  in  the  assignment  of  CO2  emission  values  to  registration 
numbers. Although there are some remaining methodological uncertainties and problems with 
data  collection  and  calculation,  their  impact  on  the  average  emissions  of  CO2  in  the  EU  is 
low. The Commission is working with the relevant authorities to remove uncertainties in the 
data.

Except Bulgaria. 
Compared to EU25, EU10 accounted for 5.3%. 
Article 2(8) of decision 1753/2000/EC defines the term mass as “the mass of the car with bodywork in 
running  order  as  stated  in  the  certificate  of  conformity  and  the  type-approval  documentation,  and 
defined in section 2.6 of Annex I to Directive 70/156/EEC”.  
Section 2.6 of Annex I to Directive 2007/46/EC defines the term as follows: “Mass of the vehicle with 
bodywork and, in the case of a towing vehicle of category other than M1, with coupling device, if fitted 
by  the  manufacturer,  in  running  order,  or  mass  of  the  chassis  or  chassis  with  cab,  without  bodywork 
and/or coupling device if the manufacturer does not fit the bodywork and/or coupling device (including 
liquids, tools, spare wheel, if fitted, and driver and, for buses and coaches, a crew member if there is a 
crew seat in the vehicle) (o) (maximum and minimum for each variant)”. 
Footnote “o” specifies that “The mass of the driver and, if applicable, of the crew member is assessed at 
75 kg (subdivided into 68 kg occupant mass and 7 kg luggage mass according to ISO Standard 2416 -
1992),  the  fuel  tank  is  filled  to  90  %  and  the  other  liquid  containing  systems  (except  those  for  used 
water) to 100 % of the capacity specified by the manufacturer. 
Two Member States did not provide data following Article 2 (8) of Decision 1753/2000/EC. The years 
affected are 2006 and 2007 for Slovakia and 2005 to 2007 for Malta. The number of registrations for 
these  two  Member  States  is  low  by  comparison  to  other  Member  States  and  the  total  in  the  EU  and 
therefore is not expected to affect the EU average significantly.

CONCLUSIONS 

The  average  emissions  from  new  cars  registered  in  the  EU  in  2007  amounted  to  158g 
CO2/km, 15.1% below the 1995 starting point of 186 g CO2/km15. The emission level dropped 
by 1.23% from 2004 to 2005, by 0.6% from 2005 to 2006 and by 1.25% from 2006 to 2007. 
The EU25 average mass in 2005 was 1357kg, 1372 kg in 2006 and 1382kg in 2007 (1380kg 
for the EU-27).
