OpenCarData

Background & objectives

In Europe (EU27 + EFTA), a total of 14.5 million new passenger cars were registered in 2009 producing an average of 155g CO2/km. Recent legislation will require car manufacturers to decrease this number to an average of 95g CO2/km by the year 2020. While the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of each car are obtained from a standardised test method based on EU legislation, real-world vehicle CO2 emission data are currently not available.

How does it work?
