The ambitious EU policy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in combination with a significant adoption of low-carbon energy and transport technologies will lead to strong growth in the demand for certain raw materials. This report addresses the EU resilience in view of supply of the key materials...

The electrification of road transport or electro-mobility is seen by many as a potential game-changing technology that could have a significant influence on the future cost and environmental performance of personal individual mobility as well as short distance goods transport. While there is...

This technical report describes the results of an intensive test campaign involving two different electric vehicles. The first was a battery electric vehicle (i.e. fully electric) and the second was a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. Both were tested in the Vehicle Emissions Laboratory (VELA) 9...

The present report summarises the work carried out by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre to estimate the impact of the introduction of the new type approval procedure, the Worldwide Light duty vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP), on the European car fleet CO2 emissions. To this aim, a new...

In order to improve air quality mainly in the urban environment, emissions from passenger cars and light duty vehicles have in the past been limited to some extent (EURO III/IV in Europe). The always pressing need to optimise health related problems arising from the inhalation of toxic...
