TREMOVE
TREMOVE is a policy assessment model to study the effects of different transport and environment policies on the emissions of the transport sector. The model estimates the transport demand, modal shifts, vehicle stock renewal and scrappage decisions as well as the emissions of air pollutants and the welfare level, for policies as road pricing, public transport pricing, emission standards, subsidies for cleaner cars etc. The model covers passenger and freight transport in 31 countries and covers the period 1995-2030.
The first of the TREMOVE model was developed in 1997-1998 by KU Leuven and DRI as an analytical underpinning for the second European Auto-Oil programme.
Since 2002, TML further developed the model for DG ENV. TREMOVE was recently used for the evaluation of the new emission standard proposal (EURO standards), and several other policy evaluations, as road pricing, NOx abatement of maritime ships, and CO2 policies. This first version included 9 countries until 2020.
In 2006-2007 the model was thoroughly reviewed and renewed. The regional coverage was extended to 31 countries and the time horizon was extended to 2030. Moreover, new calculation methods were applied in the emission module.
Recent projects (e.g. TREMOVE SCP-CAR) contain the impact of environmental taxation and a scrappage subsidies on transport emissions and economy. TREMOVE was extended with a new module that covers the material flows (production and waste) of road transport. The most recent version TREMOVE v3.1 is available at the JRC of the European Commission.
In 2009-2010, TREMOVE was thoroughly updated with particular focus on updating the input data. This project resulted in the youngest TREMOVE versions: “v3.3.2” en “v3.3.2 alt”, corresponding to the version used in the i-TREN project (3.3.2: iTREN Reference, 3.3.2 alt: Integrated).
Parallel to the European model, we also developed a Belgian and a Flemish version.
