Best practices for CO2 efficiency labelling in vehicles in Germany (BMWK)

Use the certification [certification] attribute when describing your vehicles' CO2 and efficiency class in Germany. For merchants in Germany, this is required. For hybrid-electric vehicles, two CO2 efficiency classes (the combined rating and the efficiency of the vehicle with a discharged battery) are required to be provided in separate certifications.

Sub-attributes

This certification uses the following attributes in the following way:

• Authority [certification_authority] (required): BMWK for the German CO2 emissions classes for vehicles.
• Name [certification_name] (required): Vehicle_CO2_Class for the overall CO2 class of a vehicle OR Vehicle_CO2_Class_Discharged_Battery for the CO2 class of a vehicle with a discharged battery.
• Value [certification_value] (required): The value of the certification. Specifically, the value of the appropriate CO2 emission class.
