Download the full outcome
Detail of outcome
The final outcome of the consultation on how to regulate CO2 emissions from newly registered cars and vans following the transition period has been published.
18 responses were received, primarily from vehicle manufacturers, automotive trade bodies and environmental stakeholders.
The main decisions arising from the consultation are:
- retaining the EU average vehicle mass values in the formulae that set manufacturer CO2 targets
- retaining the proposed super-credit cap of 3.75g CO2/km
- reducing the time-frame covering vehicles moving permanently from Great Britain to Northern Ireland (or being exported) from 6 months to 3 months
- providing clarity on other areas within the regulation, particularly in respect of excess emissions premiums and in respect of the New European Drive Cycle-Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure correlation regulations

Consultation description
There are plans for a CO2 emissions regulatory scheme for new cars and vans registered in the UK after the EU transition period ends.
The scheme will be implemented after the transition period ends on 31 December 2020. It aims to ensure continuity to the regulation of CO2 emissions from new cars and vans when they are first registered in the UK.
