TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, THE COUNCIL AND THE EUROPEAN 
ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COMMITTEE 

Monitoring the CO2 emissions from new passenger cars in the EU: 
data for 2009 

1. 

INTRODUCTION 

According  to  Article  9  of  Decision  (EC)  1753/20001,  the  Commission  shall  submit  annual 
reports based on the monitoring data submitted by Member States to the European Parliament 
and Council. The present Report concerns the monitoring data for 2009. 

From  2010  monitoring  and  reporting  under  Regulation  (EC)  No  443/20092  replaces  the 
reporting  based  on  Decision  (EC)  1753/2000  since  that  Decision  is  repealed  by  the 
Regulation.

TRENDS IN NEW PASSENGER CARS 

2.1. 

Data quality and processing 

All Member States have submitted data for new passenger car registrations for 2009. Manual 
re-processing of data was necessary for a number of Member States due to the recording of 
other  fuel  types  than  those  agreed  upon,  the  handling  of  unknown  vehicles,  the  application 
of the correction factor and other data implausibilities. These issues were addressed during the 
data evaluation process and were successfully solved without significant data losses. Caution 
should be used when analyzing the time series as not all EU Member States are included for 
all  years  as  it  can  be  seen  from  the  tables  in  section  3.  While  the  highest  effort  is  taken  to 
present  consistent  series,  some  breaks  in  trends  due  to  methodology  and  monitoring 
improvements might occur. 

In comparison to the reports in previous years, the aggregated data in this report refer to all 
fuels (previously only figures with respect to petrol and diesel were reported) and in contrast 
to  earlier  reports,  the  CO2  emissions  figures  are  not  corrected  by  0.7%.  This  correction  of 
0.7%  had  been  applied  in  assessing  the  progress  made  by  the  manufacturing  associations 
ACEA,  JAMA  and  KAMA,  in  order  to  compensate  for  a  change  in  the  test  procedure  that 
took  place  after  their  voluntary  commitments  were  made3.  These  commitments  have  now 
been  superseded  by  the  targets  specified  in  Regulation  (EC)  No  443/2009.  For  reasons  of 
continuity  with  previous  reports,  data  per  vehicle  manufacturer  association  continue  to  be 
presented.

Data  for  alternative  fuel  vehicles  (AFV)  are included  for  the  second  time  in  the  monitoring 
report due to their increasing market share and improved data quality. This includes vehicles 
in  the  following  fuel  categories:  Liquefied  Petroleum  Gas  (LPG),  Natural  Gas  (NG), 
electricity, hydrogen, dual fuel, petrol-bioethanol, petrol-LPG, petrol-NG as well as vehicles 
reported in the category Other. 

2.2. Average CO2 emissions from new passenger cars 

The average specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars registered in the European Union 
in 2009 were 145.7 gCO2/km. This represents a decrease by 5.1%, or 7.9 gCO2/km, from the 
previous year (153.6 gCO2/km in 2008) which is the largest relative drop in specific emissions 
since  the  beginning  of  the  monitoring  scheme.  Some  of  this  reduction  may  be  due  to  the 
financial and economic crisis as well as to the design of the scrappage schemes implemented 
in several Member States. The data also indicate that there has been some downsizing of the 
car fleet, as the average engine power, vehicle mass and engine capacity slightly decreased in 
2009.  Diesel  powered  vehicles  improved  by  nearly  6  grams,  petrol  powered  vehicles 
improved by almost 9 grams and AFV vehicles by slightly more than 11 grams in 2009. The 
difference  among  new  diesel  and petrol  vehicles decreased to around 2.3 grams.  It  is  worth 
noting that 10 years ago there was more than 17 grams difference between new gasoline and 
diesel vehicles. 

The proportion of new petrol cars surpassed that of diesel vehicles in 2009. In 2009 the share 
of  AFV  increased  significantly.  This  is  mostly  due  to  the  increase  of  petrol-LPG  vehicles 
registered  in  Italy,  which  itself  accounts  for  92.8%  of  all  new  petrol-LPG  passenger  cars 
registered in EU27.

The EU15 accounts for the vast majority of new passenger car registrations (94.6% in 2009). 
New cars in the EU15 are on average emitting 9 gCO2/km  less  than  new  cars  in  the  EU12. 
While the EU15 average improved by 8.1 grams in 2009, the EU10 average improved by only 
2.5  grams.  The  observation  from  previous  monitoring  reports,  that  new  passenger  cars 
registered in the EU15 have lower CO2 emissions than new passenger cars in the EU10, is re-

confirmed  in  2009.  However,  it  is  not  clear  at  this  stage  if  this  can  be  attributed  to 
a permanent behavioural change of citizens in the EU15, or if this is one of the effects of the 
financial  and  economic  crisis  which  started  in  2008.  Data  are  also  influenced  by  various 
scrappage schemes implemented in several countries in 2009.

2.3.  Other car characteristics: engine power, engine capacity and mass 

The  average  engine  power  of  new  diesel  and  petrol  powered  passenger  cars  had  been 
increasing  until  2007,  it  remained  constant  in  2008  and  decreased  in  2009.  The  average 
engine power of petrol powered vehicles decreased by 4 kW and offset the observed growth 
during last 7 years. Diesel powered vehicles decreased  only by 2 kW  to the levels of 2006. 
The 2009 data for the average engine power of AFV confirm the decreasing trend of previous 
years.  The  huge  influence  of  petrol-LPG  vehicles  in  Italy  is  the  main  driving  factor  for 
determining the average engine power of AFV.

The  average  engine  capacity  of  new  passenger  cars  in  2009  has  seen  a  significant  drop  in 
2009 by 83 cm3. Petrol powered vehicles observed the highest decrease (by 5% or by 77 cm3). 
The decrease in engine capacity of diesel powered vehicles is continuing and amounts to 37 
cm3  in  2009  (-2%).  The  engine  size  difference  between  petrol  and  diesel  powered  vehicles 
was decreasing until 2005 when it reached 313 cm3 and since then it is widening again, and in 
2009 the difference reached 378 cm3.

The average mass of new passenger cars registered in the EU in 2009 decreased by 36 kg. The 
difference between petrol and diesel vehicles has been increasing slowly but constantly since 
2004 (226 kg) and in 2009 it reached 292 kg. The average mass decreased by 10 kg for diesel 
vehicles in 2009. On the other hand, new petrol powered vehicles became on average lighter 
by 22 kg and alternative fuel vehicles by 68 kg. The observed decreases are mainly due to a 
consumer shift to smaller segments of vehicles (known as A and B segment) as a consequence 
of the financial/economic crisis and the design of the scrappage schemes in operation during 
2009.  Data  before  2004  are  not  shown  in  the  table  due  to  problems  with  Member  State 
reporting  of  mass  during  that  period  of  time.  For  data  before  2004  as  well  as  detailed 
explanations of the origin of the mass data and all other mass related notes see Table 2 in the 
Annex to report COM(2009)9 final.

2.4.  Monitoring data by association 

For reasons of continuity with previous reports, data in this section are presented per vehicle 
manufacturer  association.  In  2009,  CO2  emissions  from  new  passenger  cars  decreased  for 
each  association.  In  comparison  to  2008,  ACEA  decreased  its  average  emissions  by  7.3 
grams, JAMA by 11.2 grams, KAMA by  9.7 grams  and  other manufacturers on average by 
18.4 grams. Both, KAMA and JAMA, had lower average emissions from new passenger cars 
in 2009 than ACEA while the situation was the reverse in 2007.

The average mass of new passenger cars decreased for all manufacturers in 2009 between 36 
and  46  kg.  The  average  mass  of  a  new  passenger  car  from  JAMA  is  70  kg  less  than  an 
average new car from ACEA. In the last 5 years, average emissions decreased by 10-16% for 
all  associations  while  average  mass  changed  between  0  and  -2%  (and  vehicle  power  on 
average has not changed since 2004). This clearly indicates that specific CO2 emissions have 
been reduced without any significant downsizing of vehicle fleet.

The effect of the current financial crisis, economic downturn as well as the scrappage schemes 
is influencing the number of new passenger car registrations for each association during 2008 
and 2009. When compared to 2007 (the highest number of registration in the last 10 years), 
there was a decrease of 7.8% in 2008 and of 9.9% in 2009. When comparing 2009 to 2008, 
there  was  an  increase  of  9.8%  in  registrations  of  KAMA  while  at  the  same  time  the 
registrations of ACEA and JAMA fell by 2.2% and 7.4% respectively. ACEA is still, by far, 
the  major  player  on  the  European  market,  keeping  its  share  at  around  81%  of  all  new 
registrations for the last 5 years.

Statistical annex with data by manufacturer 

In the following table, the top 20 manufacturers based on the number of registrations in 2009 
are  shown.  The  complete  database  with  data  for  all  manufacturers  is  available  on  the 
Commission's  website7.  The  table  includes  a  column  labelled  "Target"  corresponding  to  the 
specific  emissions  target  calculated  in  accordance  with  the  formula  set  out  in  Annex  I  to 
Regulation  (EC)  No  443/2009.  It  is,  however,  important  to  note  that  in  meeting  the  target 
manufacturers may take account of the flexibilities set out in Regulation (EC) No 443/2009: 
super-credits  (Article  5),  biofuels  (Article  6),  pooling  (Article  7),  derogations  (Article  11), 
and eco-innovations (Article 12).
