Explanatory note

These Regulations amend the Passenger Car (Fuel Consumption and CO₂ Emissions Information) Regulations 2001 (S.I.2001/3523) (“the 2001 Regulations”) by extending their scope to include passenger cars which do not emit CO₂, hydrocarbons or carbon monoxide.

Regulation 3 amends and updates legislative references.

Regulation 4 extends the application of the Passenger Car (Fuel Consumption and CO₂ Emissions Information) Regulations 2001 to vehicles that do not emit CO₂, hydrocarbons or carbon monoxide.

Regulation 5 amends the 2001 Regulations to require the Secretary of State to review their operation and publish a report setting out the conclusions of that review within five years after these Regulations come into force and every five years after that. Following a review it will fall to the Secretary of State to consider whether the 2001 Regulations should remain as they are, be revoked or be amended. A further instrument will be needed to revoke the 2001 Regulations or to amend them.

Regulation 6 amends the size requirement for text contained in labels containing information on passenger car fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions.
