24 September 2012 New study on cost effective means for reducing greenhouse gases from heavy duty vehicles

A new study on Marginal abatement cost curves for Heavy Duty Vehicles (HDVs) is now available as part of the Commission's preparatory work for its strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from heavy duty vehicles. The study, prepared by CE Delft for the Commission, suggests a significant potential to secure reduced emissions with cost effective technical measures. Estimates contained in the study of break-even points for fuel saving technology uptakes are at this stage indicative.
