# The Vehicle Emissions Trading Schemes (Amendment) Order 2025, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order in Council)
This Order amends the Vehicle Emissions Trading Schemes Order 2023 (“the 2023 Order”) and the Vehicle Emissions Trading Schemes (Amendment) Order 2024 (“the 2024 Order”).
The 2023 Order and 2024 Order revoked and saved provisions of Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 setting CO2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 443/2009 and (EU) No 510/2011. Provisions of that regulation may still be exercised for monitoring and compliance purposes. The amendments specify that vehicles first registered in the UK or the EU may be used when exercising provisions saved by the 2023 Order and 2024 Order, and calculating specific emissions targets under that regulation.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen. A copy of this instrument together with the Explanatory Memorandum is available on the UK legislation website www.legislation.gov.uk.
