JATO: European new car CO2 emissions highest average since 2014; shift from diesel to gasoline and SUVs rise

Green Car Congress

The analysis covered 23 markets in Europe and found a direct correlation between diesel car registrations and average CO2 emissions. The total value of CO2 emissions was on a steady decline from 2007, but started to slowdown in 2016 as the fall reduced from -4.1 The emissions averages for SUVs worsened by 1.4

New report finds global CO2 vehicle emission reduction measures falter; dropping diesels, increasing SUVs

—more than triple the improvement rate between 2016 and 2017. Another significant barrier to fuel economy improvements has been the growing market share of sport-utility vehicles (SUVs) and pick-ups, the market share of which increased by 11 percentage points over the last three years.

JATO: new car CO2 emissions rise for the first time in a decade in Europe; diesel down, gasoline up, SUVs up

Green Car Congress

This rise in average CO 2 emissions correlates with a decrease in demand for diesel cars across Europe—which produce lower CO 2 emissions than gasoline cars—and the rising popularity of SUVs, which emit higher average CO 2 emissions of 133.0 g/km in 2016 to 133.0 —the highest level since 2003. g/km in 2017, JATO said.

JATO: new car average CO2 emissions highest in Europe since 2014; slow EV uptake insufficient to counter fewer diesels and more SUVs

Green Car Congress

As expected, the combination of fewer diesel registrations and more SUVs continued to have an impact on emissions. Despite this positive change, their emission levels were still higher than the averages they recorded in 2016 and 2017. SUVs were the biggest driver of growth in terms of volume and profits for European markets last year.

EEA: average CO2 emissions from new cars and new vans in Europe increased in 2018

Green Car Congress

After a steady decline from 2010 to 2016, by almost 22 grams of CO 2 per kilometer (g CO 2 /km), average emissions from new passenger cars increased in 2017 by 0.4 million new cars sold in the EU and in Iceland in 2018—almost one out of three—were SUVs. g CO 2 /km. g CO 2 /km in 2018. of sales in 2018.

EEA: average CO2 emissions from new cars and new vans in Europe increased again in 2019

Green Car Congress

After a steady decline from 2010 to 2016 of almost 22 grams of CO 2 per kilometer (g CO 2 /km), average emissions from new passenger cars increased in 2017 and in 2018 (by 2.8 EEA said that one reason for the increase in car emissions is the growing share of the sport utility vehicle (SUV) segment. g CO 2 /km in total).

EPA annual report on CO2, fuel economy and technology trends finds 2012 heading for all-time best; rapid adoption of new technologies

Green Car Congress

EPA estimates that the fleet-wide average MY 2011 CO2 emissions and fuel economy values would likely have been similar to or slightly better than MY 2010 levels if car production from major Japan-based manufacturers had not been constrained. There are almost 3 times more SUVs with combined labels of 25 mpg (9.4 l/100km) or more.
