<p>Since April 2017, the government has used a reformed Vehicle Excise Duty (VED)
system that encourages the take-up of vehicles with low carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>)
emissions to help meet our legally binding climate change targets. It is right that
vehicles with high CO<sub>2</sub> emissions pay higher first year VED than those with
lower emissions.</p><p> </p><p>From September 2019, all multi-stage build vehicles,
including motorhomes, must also record the CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and fuel consumption
on their type approval certificate. Apart from a small number of end-of-series derogations,
all new registrations of multi-stage build vehicles must comply. Existing registrations
are not impacted.</p><p> </p><p>To provide industry and motorists with time to prepare,
the change in measuring CO<sub>2</sub> emissions was announced at Autumn Budget 2017.</p>
