The relation between fuel consumption and certain vehicle parameters has been estimated from data related to the range of new passenger cars on the market. The parameters comprise service weight, vehicle performance, type of gearbox, provision of catalytic emissions control and the time factor. A negative trend in fuel economy in relation to service weight and vehicle performance of sold cars has resulted in the mean fuel consumption in mixed driving not being reduced in a way that would otherwise have been possible. It means in turn that the corresponding percentage reduction in CO2 emissions from road traffic has also been lost. The data used relate to just under 1,000 new car models and cover in principle almost all the new car models introduced on the Swedish market during the years 1980, 1984 and 1988.
