What unit should CO2 emissions be in?

CO2 emissions are typically specified in grams per kilometer (g/km) for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, or grams per kilowatt-hour (g/kWh) for heavy-duty vehicles.

Where do I find the CO2 emission value?

CO2 emission values are found in the vehicle's Certificate of Conformity (CoC) or type approval documentation.

Vehicle classification code missing or inconsistent

This is the rejection, word for word: „[BR-DE-CVD-06-a] Your invoice includes Clean Vehicle Directive (CVD) data, but the item classification code is either missing or does not match the vehicle category. The classification code must match the vehicle category specified in the CVD properties.“

The Clean Vehicle Directive requires CO2 emission values (typically in g/km for light vehicles or g/kWh for heavy vehicles) to determine the vehicle's emission class and compliance status.
