Road traffic emission factors by vehicle category and year of manufacture, 2008

This table contains emission factors for the exhaust gases of road vehicles per year of construction applicable to the 2008 statistical year. These factors, which give the emission of exhaust gases per vehicle-kilometre, have been applied in the calculation of road emissions (see paragraph 3). These are emission factors of the substances CO, VOC (only by combustion), NOx and PM10 for the road types of built-up areas, outdoor roads and motorways. The following vehicle categories are distinguished: Total, passenger car-petrol, passenger car-diesel, passenger car-LPG, engine two-wheeler, van-petrol, van-diesel, van-LPG, truck-diesel, tractor-diesel and bus-diesel. Construction years: Vehicles from 0 to 8 years old (construction years 2000 to 2008) and of the year group 9 years and older (construction years 1999 and older). Years: 2008. Data available from: not applicable. Status of the figures: Final figures. Changes compared to the previous version: N/A This is a new table showing the latest state of play, in this case relating to the calendar year 2008. N.B. Because of the availability of a renewed set of baseline emission factors, the 2008 emission factors are not necessarily comparable to previously published factors. When are new figures coming? In principle, a new table is created each spring that applies to the most recent published statistical year. The previous version will then be moved to the Statline archive.
