SMMT publishes CO2 and fuel consumption figures for vans in the UK
According to the SMMT (Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders), vans make up to 15 percent road transport emissions in the UK and are the vehicle segment where emissions keep on growing. SMMT wanted customers to be informed about the choices they have when purchasing a new commercial vehicle and to have a way to easily compare CO2 emissions and fuel consumption between models. The SMMT states that choosing the most fuel efficient van among the group can save the drive up to 17 percent in fuel expenses. If you're shopping for a cargo-hauler in the UK, you can find the complete database, which classifies vans into many criteria such as size, payload or cargo space, by following this link.

They call it a complete database of all the commercial vehicles available, and supposedly steer buyers towards the cleanest. But the UK has several makers of battery powered vans and trucks - none of which are included.
