Two reports have emerged from the European Union over the past few weeks, the latest from the European Commission, and both could have far-reaching effects on the type of vehicles that manufacturers will be selling as soon as 2026.
Vs average CO2 emissions of 139.5g/km, which is some 23% better than the internal combustion engine average. However, the real-world monitoring suggests that Vs aren’t being charged as often as was estimated by the WLTP regime. The upshot of the analysis is that larger-engined models, the heaviest SUVs and luxury cars and
Vs, along with underperforming mainstream ICE vehicles, will now face renewed scrutiny by the European authorities. The EU Court of Auditors also recommends that the EU follows the UK’s legislative lead and drops the current laws that make car makers meet ‘fleet average’ CO2 targets in favour of “targets based instead on a minimum share of zero-emission vehicles”.
Vs , the Commission’s report was relatively mild in tone. It said the initial data wasn’t yet “broad or representative enough to draw firm conclusions” but did express concern about the predominance of heavy SUVs and luxury vehicles, which stray even further from the WLTP results than mainstream cars. However, a parallel report from the European Court of Auditors was harder-hitting.
