Fuel Consumption and CO₂ Information

VCA is responsible for the creation and management of the New Car Fuel Consumption and CO₂ database used by individuals and organisations to:

• To inform buyers of new cars how they can reduce the impact of their vehicle on the environment
• Identify the vehicle excise duty and/or the relevant Company Car tax percentage bracket, based on CO₂ levels
• Search for cars that offer lower fuel consumption or use alternative fuel types

On the back of this work, we have developed a system to enable dealers to produce the labels that appear on new cars displayed in showrooms. VCA is also the UK body responsible for monitoring new car advertising to ensure that the rules regarding the display of Fuel Consumption and CO₂ figures within printed advertisements are followed.
