I am advised by Revenue that the average emissions from category A vehicles registered (new and used) in 2020, 2021, 2022 and to the end of March 2023 and the VRT band associated with these averages are provided in the table below. These figures relate to internal combustion engine vehicles only. Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid and Electric vehicles are excluded.

Year Average emissions (CO2 g/km) Associated Band / (CO2 g/km)
Jan- Mar 2023 133.8 Band 13 (130 – 135)
2022 138.9 Band 14 (135 – 140)
2021 141.2 Band 15 (140 – 145)
2020* 118.3 A04 (111 – 120)

*Prior to 2021 a different CO2 emissions reference system was in place and therefore the figures and bands are not directly comparable with later years.
