CO2 emission bands play a significant role not only in environmental conservation but also in the economic aspects of owning a vehicle in the UK. Each band signifies a range of CO2 emissions measured in grams per kilometer (g/km) that a vehicle emits. The lower the emissions, the lower the vehicle tax rate, incentivizing the adoption of more environmentally friendly vehicles. As you consider your next vehicle purchase, keep these bands in mind for their potential impact on both your wallet and the environment.
