This paper estimates the potential of fuel tax reforms to curb harmful air pollutants and carbon emissions from road transport in Europe. We provide robust estimates for the responsiveness of fuel consumption to changes in prices, which constitute a key determinant for emissions pathways in...

The Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission, the European Council for Automotive R&D (EUCAR), and CONCAWE jointly completed this vehicle test programme to investigate the effect of oxygenates in gasoline on the fuel consumption, regulated emissions, and particle emissions of three...

In the current paper, we quantify the effect that fuel prices have on vehicle prices' responsiveness to fuel economy. We apply a hedonic price model to the German automobile market by using data on detailed technical specifications of high-sales vehicles of three sequential model years. In the...

An experimental study was carried out to compare the parameter - Brake Power (BP), Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC), Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) and Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) - of different compositions of biodiesel and conventional diesel. Tests were performed on a single cylinder direct...
