The European Commission calls for a climate-neutral Europe by 2050, which is in-line with the goals of the Paris Agreement. One element of reaching a carbon-neutral economy is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Within the economy, the transport sector accounted for...
Report no. 2/19: The objective of this project was to assess the effects of varying diesel fuel properties associated with increasing FAME content on pollutant emissions and fuel consumption of light-duty vehicles. To that aim three passenger cars were tested, each...
A Concawe study examined several options for achieving a low-carbon transport system in the EU by 2050. Significantly, a mass EV adoption scenario and a low-carbon fuels scenario both achieve similar reductions in total parc greenhouse gas emissions, at similar...
The impacts of three scenarios in the European light duty vehicle market to 2050 have been analysed, versus a European Commission Business As Usual (BAU) scenario, as follows : – High EV scenario representing mass EV adoption to ~90% BEV parcby 2050; – Low Carbon...
This article presents the basis of a Concawe analysis comparing the life-cycle CO2 emissions of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, and investigates the impact of a range of key parameters on total CO2 emissions.
