The EU regulatory regime for vehicle CO₂ emissions was retained in UK law following the end of the transition period. Two SIs, the Road Vehicle Carbon Dioxide Emission Performance Standards (Cars and Vans) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 and the New Heavy Duty Vehicles (Carbon Dioxide Emission Performance Standards) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020, entered into legal effect at that same point, correcting the EU legislation to work in a UK-only scenario.
