Summary
Key Points: 
  • The 2018 data on new registrations can be explored through a new EEA data dashboard.
  • While this is 10% below the 2018 target of 175 gCO2/km, average emissions were still 7% above the 2020 target.
  • Many factors affected the increase in CO2 emissions from new vans in 2018, including an increase in the mass, engine capacity and size of the vehicles.
  • In 2020, the EEA will collect, also for the first time, data on CO2 emissions from heavy duty vehicles (trucks).
