Key Measures to reduce Road Transport Emissions in Germany

April 7, 2022

This study examines the effect on greenhouse gas (GHG) and pollutant emissions of various measures to reduce the emissions of road transport and accelerate electromobility in Germany.

Electrification is an essential lever for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in road transport. Road transport is responsible for 96% of the GHG-emissions in the transport sector. There is concern that the transport sector will be primarily responsible for failing to meet the 55% cross-sectoral reduction target by 2030.
