ExECutIVE summAry
This information paper provides detailed data on the carbon dioxide emissions intensity performance of new passenger and light commercial vehicles sold in Australia during 2015. The data is broken down by vehicle make, model and segment and by fuel and buyer type.
This report focuses on vehicle emissions performance, measured in grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre (g/km). This is a measure of vehicle efficiency or intensity rather than a measure of actual vehicle emissions, which depends on many factors such as distance travelled, the nature of the driving and road and traffic conditions.
Fleet-wide vehicle emissions depend on many factors including consumer preference (for example, vehicle type, engine size and power, fuel type and transmission type). Consumer preferences can also be influenced by government policies and regulations, industry influence and fuel prices.
Key findings
• In 2015 the national average carbon dioxide emissions intensity from new passenger and light commercial vehicles was 184 g/km. this is a 1.9 per cent reduction from 2014.
• Consumer preferences are an important factor affecting the national average of carbon dioxide emissions intensity for new vehicles. If all australians who purchased new vehicles in 2015 had purchased vehicles with best-in-class emissions, the national average carbon dioxide emissions intensity would have been reduced to 82 g/km, a 55 per cent reduction.
• about 90 per cent of all new vehicle sales in 2015 were from 15 makes. of these 15 makes, audi and bmw had the lowest corporate average emissions intensity (149 g/km), and Jeep had the highest (223 g/km).
• the average emissions intensity for all australian-made vehicles was 208 g/km in 2015. this is a 1.1 per cent reduction when compared with 2014.
• Private buyers purchased vehicles with the lowest average emissions intensity (178 g/km), followed by business buyers (190 g/km) and government buyers (204 g/km).
• ‘green’ cars made up 4.7 per cent of total sales in 2015, compared with 2.8 per cent in 2014. a ‘green’ car is defined as a vehicle that does not exceed 120 g/km.
• the average emission intensity for new passenger vehicles in european countries was 124 g/km in 2014. In the same year, australia’s average emissions intensity for passenger vehicles was 177 g/km, 43 per cent higher.
• there are many reasons why australian light vehicle emissions intensity are higher than in europe. some of the reasons include:
- australian consumer preferences for heavier vehicles with larger and more powerful engines, for example, suV medium, suV large and suV upper large segments made up 30% of all passenger vehicle sales in 2014.
- a lower proportion of diesel-powered engines
- fewer government incentives for lower emissions vehicles
- lower fuel prices.

Every year since 2009, the National Transport Commission (NTC) has published an information paper about carbon dioxide emissions intensity for new Australian light vehicles. This information paper is the latest in this series and provides data for 2015.
The paper focuses on vehicle emissions intensity, which is a measure of vehicle efficiency. It is not a measurement of actual vehicle emissions, which depends on many ‘real world’ factors such as distance travelled, the nature of the driving and road and traffic conditions.
This paper is prepared using data provided by the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI), and the European Environment Agency.
This information paper is divided into three main sections:
• Section2describesthemethodologyused
• Section3presentstheresultsoftheanalysis
• Section4comparesAustraliandatawithEuropeandata.

2. mEthoDoLogy
The FCAI is the peak industry organisation representing the manufacturers and importers of passenger vehicles, light commercial vehicles and motorcycles in Australia. The FCAI collates carbon dioxide emissions intensity data from vehicle manufacturers. We entered the FCAI data into a database and analysed it. The data contains the full records of annual sales for 2005–2015 comprising nearly 890,000 records representing more than 10.6 million vehicles. These records consisted of:
• vehicle attributes: make, model, vehicle generation, body style, engine capacity, number of cylinders, engine power, transmission type, gears, number of seats, gross vehicle mass (GVM), driven wheels, country of origin, fuel type, carbon dioxide emissions intensity and fuel economy
• vehicle category: consistent with the classifications and definitions as described in Table 1
• sales data: sales by state and region and by type of buyer (that is, government, business or private).
Carbon dioxide emissions intensity for vehicles is calculated using the method described in Vehicle Standard (Australian Design Rule 81/02 – fuel consumption labelling for light vehicles) and expressed in grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre (g/km).
We note that the FCAI data does not include sales data for vehicles manufactured by Tesla.
The NTC calculated the sales weighted average for vehicle emissions for different vehicle attributes, categories and buyer types. A weighted average calculation is similar to an arithmetic average (the most common type of average), but instead of each data point contributing equally to the final average, some data points contribute more than others. In this case, the average was weighted to vehicle sales.
Electric vehicles with emissions of 0 g/km have been excluded when calculating sales weighted averages. Although electric vehicles have no tailpipe emissions, the electricity that fuels these vehicles may produce emissions depending on how it is generated.
The light vehicles are classified into three main classes by the FCAI: passenger motor vehicles, sports utility vehicles (SUVs) and light trucks. These classes are then broken down into segments. For example, the segments of SUVs are small, medium, large and upper large. Table 1 presents the classifications and definitions. The FCAI introduced a new segment called ‘micro’ in 2014.
This information paper uses the following definitions:
• passenger vehicles: passenger motor vehicles and SUVs
• light commercial vehicles: light trucks.
Page 10 | Carbon DIoxIDe emIssIons IntensIty for new australIan lIght VehICles 2015
Table 1: motor vehicle classifications and definitions
Passenger motor vehicles Sports utility vehicles (SUVs) Light trucks
Passenger vehicles are classified dependent on size, specification and average retail pricing. Vehicle size is based on wheelbase × track, but it is not an exclusive criteria for determining segmentation. Passenger and SUV sub-segments based on price banding (weighted average recommended retail price including factory-fitted options) have been introduced to further define the passenger vehicle market into competitive sets.
Vehicles classified as SUVs meet the FCAI criteria for classifying SUV vehicles based on a 2/4 door wagon body style and elevated ride height. Vehicles typically will feature some form of 4WD or all-wheel drive; however, where a 2WD variant of a model is available it will be included in the appropriate segment to that model.
Vehicles designed principally for commercial use but may include designs intended for non-commercial use.

To help get a frame of reference for carbon dioxide emissions intensity from vehicles, Figure 1 shows carbon dioxide emissions from the top 10 selling vehicles in Australia during 2015. Figure 1 also contains the six lowest emitting vehicle models (two electric vehicles have zero carbon dioxide tailpipe emissions but may contribute carbon dioxide emissions elsewhere depending on the nature of their source power) and the highest emitting model.
During 2015 the Volkswagen Group confirmed when reporting carbon dioxide emissions intensity in Europe data on some models was incorrectly stated (European Environment Agency 2015). Volkswagen Group Australia has confirmed no Australian vehicles are affected by this issue (Volkswagen Group Australia 2015).
Carbon dioxide emissions intensity per kilometre is directly related to vehicle fuel consumption values. Table 2 provides fuel consumption figures and the corresponding carbon dioxide emissions intensity for petrol and diesel.
Another way to relate carbon dioxide emissions intensity to fuel is per litre of fuel consumed. For example, 1 L of petrol will produce about 2.3 kg of carbon dioxide and 1 L of diesel will produce about 2.7 kg of carbon dioxide.

Top 5 models for lowest emissions Top 10 models Model with highest emissions
InformatIon PaPer – 2016 | Page 13
Across all new passenger and light commercial vehicles sold in 2015, the national average carbon dioxide emissions intensity was 184 g/km (Figure 2). This is a 1.9 per cent reduction from 2014. Since 2002 there has been an overall reduction of 27 per cent in carbon dioxide emissions intensity. Additional data on the annual average emissions intensity is provided in Table 6 in the appendix.
Vehicle manufacturers
In 2015 there were 50 makes of new vehicles available to Australian consumers. Ninety per cent of all new vehicle sales were from 15 makes. The average corporate carbon dioxide emissions intensity of these market-leading makes largely determines the national average emissions intensity. Table 7 in the appendix contains more detail on average emissions intensity for all makes sold in Australia.
Figure 3 shows the corporate average carbon dioxide emissions intensity for the top 15 makes in 2015 (data for all vehicle makes is provided in Table 7 in the appendix). Audi and BMW had the lowest corporate average carbon dioxide emissions intensity (149 g/km), and Jeep had the highest (223 g/km).
“Average corporate carbon dioxide emissions” refers to the average intensity of emissions determined through testing conducted by manufacturers and reported in line with corporate reporting protocols.

If Australian consumers had purchased vehicles with best-in-class carbon dioxide emissions in 2015, the national average carbon dioxide emissions would have been reduced to 82 g/km, a 55 per cent reduction. This shows the potential emissions reduction that current vehicles and technology could achieve. It is important to note that fully electric vehicles with zero tailpipe emissions were excluded from this analysis to prevent the results being distorted.
Table 3 shows the best-in-class vehicles for carbon dioxide emissions intensity available for each segment.
Figure 12 shows the average and the range in carbon dioxide emissions intensity for the segments during 2015. The average emissions are represented by the horizontal lines and the ranges are represented by the vertical lines.
The ‘small’ segment had the lowest emissions intensity with the two fully electric vehicle models at 0 g/km: the BMW i3 and the Nissan Leaf.

green vehicles
As in previous reports, a ‘green’ vehicle has been defined as a vehicle with a carbon dioxide emissions intensity not exceeding 120 g/km. In Australia, the proportion of green cars sold in 2015 was 4.7 per cent of total sales (compared with 2.8 per cent in 2014). Figure 21 shows the growth of ‘green’ vehicle sales as a proportion of total new light vehicle sales between 2008 and 2015.
There were 72 green car models available in Australia in 2015 (compared with 59 in 2014). Figure 22 shows the growth in the number of green vehicle models available for sale between 2008 and 2015.

4. CompArIsoN of AustrALIAN AND EuropEAN DAtA
This section compares Australian and European data. There are different methods used worldwide to calculate vehicle emissions. The three main methods are from Europe, Japan and the United States. Each method can give a different emissions result when applied to the same vehicle.
Australia uses the European method. This makes the Australian data directly comparable with European data. However, the published data from Europe separates passenger vehicles from light commercial vehicles. The Australian information presented in section 3 is combined data covering passenger and light commercial vehicles.
To enable comparisons between Australian and European data, we separated the Australian data into passenger vehicle and light commercial vehicle groups as defined in section 1. The Australian groupings are consistent with the European Commission Regulation (No 443/2009, Annex II).
We sourced the European data from the European Environment Agency.
As the data illustrates, emissions from new vehicles in the European countries analysed are lower than Australia. There are a number of reasons for this including fewer measures in Australia to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and emissions intensity. The European measures are shown in Table 4. A summary of the European measures was published by the European Conference of Ministers of Transport (2007).
Table 4: european measures that have reduced carbon dioxide emissions intensity from motor vehicles
european measure effect of measure
High fuel prices through higher fuel taxes Encourages consumers to purchase fuel-efficient vehicles to lower running costs
European consumers purchase more small vehicles compared with Australian consumers
European consumers prefer manual transmission vehicles, whereas Australian consumers prefer automatic transmissions
Low diesel taxes compared with petrol taxes Encourages consumers to purchase diesel vehicles to reduce running costs
Regulating carbon dioxide emissions from motor vehicles (passenger vehicle standards are being phased in from 2012, with full implementation from 2015)
Provides manufacturers with targets for emissions reductions
Vehicle excise duties Encourages consumers to purchase low carbon dioxide–emitting vehicles
Direct cash incentives for consumers to purchase low carbon dioxide vehicles
Encourages consumers to purchase low carbon dioxide vehicles as it lowers the purchase price of the vehicle
Consumer information on vehicles Provides information to consumers about relative carbon dioxide efficiency and the annual running costs of new vehicles
Consumer information in printed advertisements Provides information to consumers about relative carbon dioxide efficiency and the annual running costs of new vehicles

Table 5 gives separated emissions data for passenger and light commercial vehicles. The average carbon dioxide emissions intensity for passenger vehicles and light commercial vehicles sold in Australia during 2015 was 175 g/km and 229 g/km respectively.

Light commercial vehicles 235 229 –2.5
The rest of this section compares Australian and European carbon dioxide emissions intensity data for passenger and light commercial vehicles separately. As the latest European Environment Agency data is from 2014, this is the year we used to do the comparisons.
Passenger vehicles: average emissions intensity by country
The breakdown for average carbon dioxide emissions intensity for new passenger vehicles by country for 2014 is shown in Figure 23. The average emissions intensity for new passenger vehicles in Europe was 124 g/km compared with Australia’s average of 177 g/km – 43 per cent higher than the European average. In 2014 European emissions intensity ranged from 107 g/km in the Netherlands to 140 g/km in Estonia (65 per cent and 26 per cent lower than Australia respectively).
European average emissions intensity reduced by 2.4 per cent between 2013 and 2014. For the same period, Australia’s average emissions intensity fell by 2.8 per cent (see Table 18 in the appendix). The European countries that showed the highest annual reductions were Croatia (9.5 per cent) and Cyprus (7.3 per cent). Additional European data is provided in Table 18 in the appendix.
