directive contains more detailed requirements
pertaining to the formation of CO2 efficiency
classes and for the assignment of the vehicles to
these classes. Section 1 governs the manufac-
turer's obligation to assign the vehicle to one of the
efficiency classes. The vehicle is assessed on the
basis of the CO2 emissions. The efficiency of the
vehicle is not measured alone using the CO2 emis-
sions value, but rather a relative valuation is
selected, which along with the absolute CO2 emis-
sion levels also chooses the vehicle mass as a rela-
tive reference value. The vehicle mass is taken into
consideration with a specific reference value. To
determine the efficiency class the reference value
is to be set relative to the actual CO2 emission value
for the vehicle. The difference is to be shown as a
percentage deviation. As per Section 2 a total of
8 efficiency classes from A+ to G are to be intro-
duced.
