CE Delft Study Finds Lower Highway Speed Limits Could Result in Significant Reductions in CO2 from Road Transport; Encouraging Modal Shifts and Land Use Changes

Green Car Congress

Carbon dioxide emissions from road transport in the Netherlands could be reduced by 30% if motorway speed limits in the Netherlands were set at 80 km/h (50 mph). Fuel consumption of a car increases at higher speeds, the main reason being that with increasing speed the wind resistance increases exponentially. Click to enlarge.
