CO2-Emissionen & Verbrauch.
Der Durchschnittswert der CO2-Emissionen aller immatrikulierten Neuwagen beträgt für das Jahr 2025 113 g/km. Die Berechnung beruht auf der Verordnung des UVEK über Angaben auf der Energieetikette von neuen Personenwagen (VEE-PLS) vom 05. Juli 2024. Die Verbrauchsangaben sind Normverbrauchs-Angaben gemäss dem WLTP (Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure), die zum Vergleich der Fahrzeuge dienen. In der Praxis können die Angaben jedoch je nach Fahrstil, Zuladung, Topografie und Jahreszeit teilweise deutlich abweichen.
Die Angaben zu Kraftstoffverbrauch, CO2-Emissionen und Stromverbrauch wurden nach dem vorgeschriebenen Messverfahren VO (EU) 2007 / 715 ermittelt. Für die Bemessung von Steuern und anderen fahrzeugbezogenen Abgaben, die (auch) auf den Verbrauch und/oder CO2-Ausstoss abstellen, können je nach Kantonaler Regelung teilweise andere als die hier angegebenen Werte gelten.
Damit Energieverbräuche unterschiedlicher Antriebsformen (Benzin, Diesel, Gas, Strom, usw.) vergleichbar sind, werden sie zusätzlich als sogenannte Benzinäquivalente (Masseinheit für Energie) ausgewiesen.
