For as little carbon dioxide emission as possible.

From December 24, in addition to every new car sold in Serbia, there will be data on its consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, the so-called energy passport, said the assistant director of the Agency for Traffic Safety Mirko Koković.

Kokovic said that placing this official mark of economy is the obligation of every vehicle seller and explained that it only applies to new cars. The data will be on the left side windshield or the furthest half a meter from the vehicle, the portal bizportal.rs reports.

Koković said that the energy passport for vehicles is part of Serbia's obligations regarding the negotiation process for EU accession. He announced that there will be a public list of the most economical car models sold in Serbia on the Agency's website so that sellers can compete according to those criteria.

Koković added that there is no tendency to regulate the import of used vehicles in this or a similar way.

"The new obligations should not affect the price of the car, but it affects the awareness of customers and their desire to drive cars that consume less fuel and pollute"
