Abstract:

Automobile manufacturers are increasingly obligated to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of their vehicle fleets. In this paper a framework to analyze the reduction potential of the life cycle CO₂ emissions of passenger cars is developed. It comprises nine sub-modules - including macroeconomic and microeconomic oriented modules. For each module relevant elements to be considered are presented. Within a short case study the framework is applied to analyze the reduction potential of the CO₂ emissions of passenger cars. The achieved results are discussed with respect to different technical and policy measures available in the US and German market.
