EU climate policy aims to limit the global mean temperature increase from anthropogenic climate change to below 2 °C. This case assumes sufficient subsidy for widespread adoption of the lowest-emission vehicle, fuel, and capacity technology combination in each category.

The analysis was based on various combinations of policy options and technological improvements including new vehicle emission limits, increased fuel taxes, support for electric and hydrogen technologies, EU motorway speed limits and land transport’s inclusion in the EU’s emissions trading scheme (ETS).

Study Finds That CO2 Standards for Vehicles Can Reduce Price of Oil

By working out that the price of oil will fall when the EU’s regulations fully take effect, the study suggests that the European economic benefits of fuel efficiency have been underestimated, in general by up to 17%, according to T&E. The impact of lower oil consumption in Europe on world oil prices (Enerdata 2009).

In addition, although many experts say that the solution to our energy and climate problems is sending the correct price signals to industry and consumers, the transport sector’s behavior is highly inelastic in that it does not change significantly in response to changes in fuel prices, at least in the range that is politically acceptable.
