UK transportation emissions that year. The outbreak of COVID-19 and the resulting lockdowns and restrictions caused passenger car emissions to plummet 25 percent in 2020, but emissions rebounded in 2021 and 2022 as the post-COVID recovery began. Despite this increase, passenger car emissions were still well below pre-pandemic levels.
Passenger cars in the United Kingdom emitted 59.6 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e) in 2022, accounting for more than 50 percent of Greenhouse gas emissions from passenger cars in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1990 to 2022 (in million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent)
