Real-world usage of plug-in hybrid vehicles in Europe: A 2022 update on fuel consumption, electric driving, and CO2 emissions
Analysis of the average real-world fuel consumption and electric driving share of PHEVs in Europe, with an emphasis on WLTP type-approved vehicle models.
Electric vehicles for everyone? State, district, and city level uptake patterns in Germany
Assesses BEV and PHEV registration shares across urban, intermediate, and rural regions in Germany and analyzes how charging access, income, environmental awareness and other variables may correlate with high uptake
Decarbonizing India’s road transport: A meta-analysis of road transport emissions models
Analyzes several of India’s road transport energy and emissions models by comparing key assumptions, energy use, and CO2 emissions by vehicle and fuel type.
Opportunities and risks for a national low-carbon fuel standard
Assesses the economic and environmental impacts of replacing the federal Renewable Fuels Standard with a national low-carbon fuel standard
The CO2 standards required for trucks and buses for Europe to meet its climate targets
Identifies the stringency of CO2 standards required for the heavy-duty sector to reduce emissions by 98% by 2050.
More bang for the buck: A comparison of the life-cycle greenhouse gas emission benefits and incentives of plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles in Germany
Presents a life-cycle assessment of the greenhouse emissions of PHEVs and BEVs and compares the emissions benefits with fiscal incentives.
A review of the AFIR proposal: Public infrastructure needs to support the transition to a zero-emission truck fleet in the European Union
Analyzes the charging needs of European nations and compares the results to charging infrastructure proposals of the Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) proposal of the European Commission
A review of the AFIR proposal: How much power output is needed for public charging infrastructure in the European Union?
Analyzes the public charging infrastructure needed to service the anticipated growth in electric passenger cars and vans in Europe over the next decade, and compares its findings with the Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Regulation proposal put forward by the EU Commission.
Coming back to reality: A proposal for real-world accuracy requirements for vehicle on-board fuel and energy consumption monitoring
Provides evidence on the level of uncertainty of factors affecting OBFCM accuracy verification and develops recommendations for future OBFCM data accuracy requirements.
Cost of renewable hydrogen produced onsite at hydrogen refueling stations in Europe
Analyzes the cost of hydrogen produced at decentralized hydrogen recharge stations and finds the cost to be above the European Commission’s 2030 target price for hydrogen, but manageable if the fuel is subsidized
