Evaluation of real-world vehicle emissions in Warsaw

2022

Author(s): Lee K, Bernard Y, Dallmann T, Tietge U, Pniewska I, Rintanen I

The Real Urban Emissions (TRUE) Initiative conducted an emissions testing study in Warsaw in Fall 2020 to provide detailed information about the real-world emissions of the vehicle fleet and support the city’s efforts to address poor air quality. The study analyzed over 220,000 measurements from 147,777 unique vehicles collected using remote sensing technology.

How do electric vehicles stack up against their conventional counterparts in terms of total cost of ownership for consumers? To answer this question, the study consulted the Car Cost Calculator of the German automobile club ADAC, a free online database that contains comprehensive cost data. The database covers all of the more than 8,000 models currently available in Germany. The analysis provides insight into the current cost competitiveness of electric vehicles in the German market. It also spotlight the effectiveness of current incentive measures and how they can be further developed to support the uptake of electric vehicles. The most important insight is that in many instances, electric vehicles are already a cost-competitive alternative.
