ERV is calculated from publicly available emissions data combined with vehicle footprint (length x width x weight).

Note: Footprint data (length, width, weight) has been obtained primarily from vehicle manufacturer websites and, when not available, from other public data sources. At the moment there are no standards regulating how this data is reported by manufacturers and therefore data reporting formats vary. We are working to standardise this information.
