Emissions & gases

CO2

CO2 is carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas released when carbon-containing fuels are burned.

Road-vehicle policy uses tailpipe CO2 in emissions testing, taxation and vehicle classifications. Battery electric vehicles produce no tailpipe CO2 while driving because they do not burn petrol or diesel onboard.
