The Commission published its first report on the real-world CO₂ emissions of new passenger cars and vans. The report is based on data collected in 2021 from fuel consumption monitors installed on-board of these vehicles.
For new plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) first registered in 2021, the real-world CO2 emissions were on average 3.5 times (4 l/100km or 100 g CO2/km) higher than the type-approval values, which confirms that these vehicles are currently not realising their potential, largely because they are not being charged and driven fully electrically as frequently as assumed.
