For a pool formed in accordance with Article 6, the WLTP specific emissions reference target shall be determined on the basis of the WLTP CO2 , NEDC CO2 and NEDC 2020target values calculated for that pool as a whole.

In case of a pool newly formed in the years 2021 to 2024 or a change in membership of a pool that existed in 2020, the WLTP specific emissions reference target shall be calculated on the basis of the WLTP CO2 , NEDC CO2 and NEDC 2020target values for the new pool as a whole.’;

is the average value across all individual manufacturers for which a specific emissions target applies in accordance with point 4, weighted by the number of new passenger cars registered in 2020, of NEDC CO2 as defined in point 3;

WLTP CO2,ind

is equal to WLTP CO2 as defined in point 3;

NEDC CO2,ind

is equal to NEDC CO2 as defined in point 3;

reduction factor 2025
