CO2 emissions from road transport have risen significantly in the past and projections show that they will continue to rise in the future if no adequate policy measures are implemented. Several European initiatives aim at reducing CO2 emissions from passenger vehicles. A potential option to...

With a focus on establishing whether climate targets can be met under different personal transport scenarios we introduce a transport sector representing the use and profile of light domestic vehicles (LDVs) into the integrated assessment model WITCH. In doing so we develop long term projections...

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) combine electric propulsion with an internal combustion engine. Their potential to reduce transport related green-house gas emissions highly depends on their actual usage and electricity provision. Various studies underline their environmental and economic...
