Road Transport Speed and Climate Change

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’]
