Alternative powertrains in road-bound heavyduty transport: a quantitative determination of user requirements for heavy-duty vehicles and their infrastructure

Kluschke, Philipp; Uebel, Maren; Wietschel, Martin - 2019

In view of climate change, measures to reduce CO2 are urgently required and much discussed. The transport sector plays a pivotal role here, accounting for approximately 20% of the total CO2 emissions in Germany. Alongside passenger cars, the main emitters of CO2 are long-haul heavy-duty vehicles...

Voluntary Corporate Climate Initiatives and Regulatory Loom: Batten Down the Hatches

Ilic, Dragan; Mollet, Janick Christian - 2016

The rationale of voluntary corporate initiatives is often explained with anticipation of future regulation. We test this hypothesis for the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) and the Climate Leaders (CL), two popular voluntary US environmental programs to curb carbon emission that were operating...
