Traffic speed is a key variable in transport policy. Speed plays a dominant role in a string of transport indicators such as mobility demand, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, air pollution, noise, safety and congestion. This short paper takes reducing CO2 emissions as a primary angle. First, we will present a short review of the literature on the impacts of speed on CO2 emissions as well as a range of additional factors. Second, we will look at a couple of policy options to be considered at EU level. [A note from Transport and Environment (T&E) to the CARS21 working group on the 'Integrated Approach']

Publications: No Regrets: the cost effectiveness of reaching average 120g/km CO2 for new cars

The objective of this paper is to arrive at an assessment of the cost effectiveness of more fuel efficient cars. More specifically, the paper assesses upfront technological costs and paybacks in fuel savings resulting from technical measures necessary to achieve the long-standing objective of 120 grams of CO2 emissions per kilometre for new cars sold in the EU by 2010 at the latest.

News: China has realised something that Mr Barroso could learn from

Editorial by Karsten Krause

China, China, China. It seems to be the golden rule that, within 10 minutes of any discussion about legislating on automotive standards, at least one reference to the situation in China is necessary. Whatever the topic, or whatever point is being made, a juicy story from the Far East helps. And the message is: automotive legislation in Europe makes no difference because of the situation in China.
