CO2 and vans

Investigation of the emission regulation for lorries and small vans

In the latest call within the DG ENV framework contract on vehicle emissions, the consortium of TNO, AEA, Ökopol, CE, IHS Global Insight, Ricardo and Transport & Mobility Leuven answered a service request of the European Commission on CO2 emissions of vans and light duty vehicles.  

The objectives of the project are:

• To investigate the feasibility of a 147g/km target
• To define the modalities for reaching that target in a cost-effective manner, including a review of utility parameters
• To support the EC in the process of writing the Impact Assessment  

The role of Transport & Mobility Leuven is situated in the second and third part of the project. We will contribute to the sensitivity analysis of the expected impact of the regulation with a review of the potential shift from vans to cars (for passenger transport) and from LDVs to HDVs (for freight), with the TREMOVE model.
We will also apply the TREMOVE model in the environmental (emissions) impact assessment of the new regulation. The social repercussions will be investigated using the EDIP model.
