[DRAFT] Non-paper on Cars/Vans CO2 Regulation proposal: Additional assessment of
higher ambition levels for the targets and ZEV/LEV benchmarks
Introduction [45%_40%ZLEV scenario to be completed]
This non-paper complements the Impact Assessment accompanying the legislative proposal
setting CO2 standards for cars and vans post-2020. It analyses the impacts of additional
scenarios1 using the same methodological approach as in the Impact Assessment.
The assumptions made for the target levels and the incentive for zero- and low-emisison
vehicles (ZLEV) for cars and vans under the additional scenarios considered in this paper are
summarised in the table below.

1 The non-paper presents the results of these additional scenarios together with the results of scenarios already
analysed in the Impact Assessment, i e Scenarios 30%, 40% and 50%
2 The definition and the accounting rule for ZLEV are as in the Commission proposal, except for scenario 75%
where a mandate is set for zero-emission vehicles only
3 Scenario 75% also assumes that the target is set at 0 g CO2/km starting from 2035
