The carbon intensity of newly registered passenger vehicles is measured in grams of CO2 emitted per kilometre driven. The last three years of data held on the fleet wide average CO2 emissions of newly registered petrol and diesel cars in the UK shows an increase over time. Excluding zero emission vehicle registrations, the provisional average for new petrol cars only in 2020 was 140.0 grams of CO2 per kilometre, 143.3 grams of CO2 per kilometre in 2021 and 143.0 grams of CO2 per kilometre in 2022. The provisional average for new diesel cars only in 2020 was 153.8 grams of CO2 per kilometre, 161.0 grams of CO2 per kilometre in 2021 and 164.0 grams of CO2 per kilometre in 2022. When considering the overall fleet of new cars, including zero emission, the average CO2 intensity has decreased over the last three years. The provisional average for 2020 was 126.6 grams of CO2 per kilometre, 118.5 grams of CO2 per kilometre in 2021 and 110.8g grams of CO2 per kilometre in 2022.

In July 2021 the Department published its the Transport Decarbonisation Plan, which set out an ambitious and credible pathway for decarbonising the transport sector in line with carbon budgets and net zero by 2050.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, the Government\u2019s Zero Emission Vehicle mandate pursues one of the most ambitious transitions away from fossil fuels anywhere in the world, allowing the Government to effectively decarbonise transport in this country.<\/p>

The Department is investing around £2.5 billion in grants for plug-in vehicles and funding to support the roll out of improved charge point infrastructure, as well as consulting on bringing forward the end to the sale of new petrol, diesel and hybrid cars and vans from 2040 to 2035, or earlier if a faster transition appears feasible;<\/p> (iii) making public transport and active travel the natural first choice for our daily activities.<\/p>"}
