UK Fuel Economy Label
The Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership
The Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership's voluntary label shows how much of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide a vehicle emits and relates that figure to the vehicle tax that must be paid.
Key Strengths
- Provides clear CO2 emissions data linked directly to UK vehicle tax bands
- Voluntary scheme enabling proactive environmental transparency for manufacturers
- Established in 2003 with long-standing recognition in the UK automotive market
- Helps consumers make informed purchasing decisions based on running costs and emissions
- Backed by the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership (now Zemo Partnership), a respected UK government-industry body
Ideal For
This label is best suited for vehicle manufacturers and importers selling new cars in the UK who want to provide transparent CO2 emissions and fuel economy information to consumers. It is particularly relevant for brands seeking to demonstrate environmental transparency and help buyers understand vehicle tax implications at the point of sale.
