Emissions from new cars, vans in Europe falling as electric sales grow – EEA
The average carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of new cars and vans in Europe dropped in 2022 for the third year in a row, according to provisional data published by the European Environment Agency (EEA).
Almost one out of four new cars registered in Europe last year was electric.
The data shows that average CO2 emissions of the 9.4-million new passenger cars registered in Europe in 2022 were 108.2 g CO2/km, which is around 6 g CO2/km less than in 2021.
The main driver of this trend was a continued growth in the share of electric car registrations, reaching 23% in 2022.
This includes 13.4% full battery electric cars.
About 1-million new vans were registered in Europe in 2022, with average emissions of 185.3 g CO2/km, which is around 8 g CO2/km lower than in 2021.
The share of electric vans increased from 3.5% in 2021, to 6.1% in 2022.
The CO2 emissions of new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles are tested according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure.
The EEA collects and makes available data on new passenger cars and vans registered in Europe.
The data are reported by all European Union member States, Iceland, and Norway.
