Study explores impact of changing gasoline and diesel taxes in Europe

Green Car Congress

DECEMBER 27, 2013

Diesel is currently taxed at a lower level than gasoline in Europe; however, since 2011 the EC has been considering reversing that situation by making energy taxes systematically reflect the CO 2 performance of the energy product. A scheme including a decreased gasoline tax could bring about an increase in CO 2 emissions.

OCTOBER 6, 2023

As both EV adoption increases and internal combustion engine vehicles have become more fuel efficient, states are seeking to offset lost revenue from the gas tax. With states enacting new kWh taxes on EVs and EV charging, we want to make sure you have the right information. kWh tax begins on July 1, 2025.

Increasingly efficient conventional combustion-engine vehicles will be key in moving towards a low carbon future, according to the GFEI. The global vehicle fleet is predicted to double by 2050 with 80% of that growth in the developing world. Thus a $500 tax would still allow consumers to keep 3?4

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has estimated that fuel consumption and emissions of CO 2 from the world’s cars will roughly double between 2000 and 2050. The report cites a number of policy options to support achieving the goal, including: Fuel economy or CO 2 emission standards. Vehicle taxes and incentives. Fuel taxes.

The report argues that the biggest component of total transport reductions could come from more energy-efficient vehicles, combined with the gradual introduction of low-carbon fuels and new engine technologies. This should include carbon and energy taxing, for example, as proposed in the amendment of the Energy Tax Directive.
