The Passenger Car CO2 Emission Standards were brought into force in 2015 and CO2 emission reporting for 2015 was completed by the end of March 2016. Statistics show that the average passenger car CO2 emission for 2015 was 162.48 g/km, a 15% reduction of the baseline emission of 191 g/km in 2009. Since 2010, the government has been pushing vehicle manufacturers to sign voluntary CO2 emission reduction agreements. The voluntary emission reduction scheme also allowed the EPA to estimate CO2 emissions for new vehicles. The enforcement of the Automobile CO2 Emission Standards began on 1 January 2015, and is Taiwan’s first ever set of controls on total CO2 emissions for new automobiles. Passenger cars have been chosen as the target for the first phase, and the controls will be introduced in three stages: 65% of total vehicles are to meet the emission standards for 2015, 80% for 2016, and 100% for 2017. Manufacturers will also be given extra credits for vehicles whose carbon emissions are under 120 g/km so as to encourage them to import or manufacture low-carbon vehicles. Statistics showed that 285,982 new cars were sold in 2015, of which 278,986, or 97.6%, met the new emissions standards. Of the 36 reporting entities, 19 met the minimum standards, of which 17 sold cars that were all up to standard. The number of models of vehicles achieving carbon emissions under 120 g/km has also increased from four in 2009 to 34 in 2015, and the number of models of full electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles have risen from nine to 30. These figures indicate that the automobile CO2 emissions standards are encouraging vehicle manufacturers to make or import low-carbon vehicles. The emission standards also stipulate that the vehicle’s CO2 emission value must be shown on the vehicle sticker or in the owner’s manual. Since the enforcement of the emission standards, the number of models of low-carbon vehicles available in Taiwan have increased. The vehicle models with carbon emissions under 120 g/km are published on the Vehicle CO2 Reporting and Management System Website. As part of the effort to mitigate climate change and global warming, the EPA continues to urge all vehicle manufacturers to fulfill their social responsibilities by producing more low-carbon vehicles. Members of the public are also encouraged to make every effort on energy saving and carbon reduction, as part of living a low-carbon lifestyle.
