CO2 penalties: a cliff in 2020 ?
The sharp increase of four wheel drive vehicle sales on the swiss car market (share exceeds 50%) is also worth mentioning, but the confusion between 4×4 and SUV has become a trap. A significant share of sedans and compact cars have four wheel drive transmissions, so do most premium electric cars.
2020: the cliff ?
CO2 targets are dropping sharply in 2020. To simplify, the objective changes from 130g/km to 95 g/km. Actual targets for each importer (brands can pool their imports as they wish) depend on the average weight of the imported fleet. Small brands also benefit from waivers with specific decremental targets.
