Amendment to vehicle emission standards in Switzerland

01.06.2020

An amendment to the CO2 Ordinance concerns the emission standards for passenger cars, vans and light semi-trailers.

According to the new worldwide harmonised light vehicle test procedure (WLTP) the results from WLTP tests are approximately 25% higher  than the results achieved following the old method.

The proposed amendment to the CO2 ordinance replaces the target values  as determined under the old measurement procedure, with the equivalent WLTP target values, to maintain the emissions reduction required from vehicle importers.
