FAQ – CO2 emission regulations for light delivery and light articulated vehicles (collectively referred to as light commercial vehicles)

TEST-VERSION - FAQ Abraxas

How are CO2 target levels calculated for small importers?

For small importers, the target level for each vehicle is calculated on the basis of the following formula:

Permissible specific emission = 186 + a × (unladen weight – Mt-2) grams of CO2 per kilometre.

where:

186: target level in grams of CO2 per kilometre
   
a: 0.096 increase in target level lines
   
Mt-2: average unladen weight (in kilograms) of light commercial vehicles registered for the first time in Switzerland in the last but one calendar year prior to the reference year.
   
  For 2024, the average unladen weight for 2022 applies, i.e. 2117 kilograms.


A penalty applies if the relevant CO2 emissions of a vehicle exceed the specified individual target level.
