Emissions reduction and benefits of the first 3,825 electric buses under PM-eBus Sewa
India’s PM-eBus Sewa scheme aims to deploy 10,000 electric buses across 100 cities and this blog analyzes the greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions avoided by the first batch of electric buses to be deployed, when compared with diesel buses.
Study finds real-world emissions from diesel pickup trucks in the United States are higher than regulatory limits
(October 31, 2024) Washington, DC – A new report from The Real Urban Emissions (TRUE) Initiative which analyzed more than 360,000 data samples from Virginia and Colorado found that the impact of diesel pickup trucks on emissions in the United States is significant. Truck models from Ford, Ram, GMC, and Chevrolet are emitting on average […]
Abwrackprämie: Stilllegung alter Diesel- und Benzinfahrzeuge fördert Klimaziele und senkt Gesundheitsrisiken
Ein gezieltes Abwrackprogramm für ältere Diesel- und Benzinfahrzeuge könnte ein Drittel der erforderlichen Emissionseinsparungen im deutschen Verkehrssektor erzielen und gesundheitsschädliche Luftschadstoffe maßgeblich reduzieren. (Berlin, Germany) 17 October 2024 – Ohne zusätzliche Maßnahmen läuft Deutschland Gefahr, die Klimaziele im Verkehrssektor zu verfehlen: aktuellen Prognosen zufolge muss bis 2030 eine Lücke von 34 Millionen Tonnen CO2-Äquivalent (CO2e) […]
New study: Scrapping old diesel and petrol vehicles lowers public health risks and supports Germany’s climate goals
The introduction of a scrappage scheme targeting old diesel and gasoline vehicles could close one-third of Germany’s projected transportation emissions reduction gap while reducing harmful air pollution. (Berlin, Germany) 17 October 2024 – Germany risks falling short in meeting its 2030 climate targets without additional measures to reduce emissions in the transportation sector: Projections suggest […]
2025 Manufacturer CO2 targets versus 2023 fleet performance
Figure. 2025 Manufacturer CO2 targets versus 2023 fleet performance Note: The 2025 targets are adjusted for expected changes in plug-in hybrid CO2 emissions. Data (sorted alphabetically) is shown for the 10 largest, leaving aside Tesla, a manufacturer that solely sells BEVs. The study analyzes the 10 largest manufacturers and concludes that all these manufacturers except Volvo […]
