Transport Emissions
We also do studies for the Flemish Government, often in collaboration with TNO. TML calculates the effects of traffic policy on emissions and makes prognoses for new vehicle technologies. Our colleagues at TNO calculate this further into air quality, using, among other things, the CAR model developed by us.
In the field of air quality, we carried out research and consultancy assignments for various other clients in Europe, such as the European Environment Agency and the French government.
