Table explanation
This table contains figures on the actual emissions into the atmosphere in the Netherlands by road traffic, including emissions by foreign vehicles. It also presents the average emissions per vehicle-kilometre, the so-called fleet emission factors, are given, expressed in grams per vehicle kilometre. It covers emissions from the combustion of motor fuels and emissions caused by evaporation of fuel from the vehicle's fuel system.
The emissions are calculated by multiplying data on activities, for instance vehicle kilometres and fuel consumption, by emission factors.
Data available from: 1980-2018.
Status of the figures:
The 2018 data is provisional; all other data are final.
Changes as of 24 February 2023:
This table is discontinued.
When will new figures be published?
Not applicable. This table is succeeded by Emissions to air on Dutch territory; road traffic. See paragraph 3.
