Primary Purpose Model-based policy-making support in the context of oil demand reduction and GHG mitigation from car travel. This tool explores key impacts of future car technology market developments and provides an international perspective.
Primary Outputs Development of 9 types of car technologies (gasoline, diesel, flex-fuel, LPG, natural gas, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, battery electric, fuel cell) in 6 countries (China, France, Germany, India, Japan, US) looking at 3 types of GHG emissions (CH4, CO2, N2O ) until 2030 (2050); Output are e.g. Aggregate car stock, Market share by car technology, Car usage, Energy use from car travel (disaggregated by type of fuel), GHG emissions from car travel (disaggregated by type of technology) "
