Abstract:

This report provides a detailed assessment of the real-world emissions of vehicles in Warsaw and offers policy recommendations to improve the environmental performance of the city’s fleet. In particular, the study examine the distribution of vehicles in the city and their emissions to identify ways in which Warsaw can reduce traffic-related pollution. This also includes a timely analysis for the city as it begins its discussions around a clean transportation zone, for which the framework has recently been set by the Electromobility and Alternative Fuels Act. It also investigate emissions from imported second-hand vehicles, whose use is widespread in Poland, and suggest ways in which Warsaw can address the relatively high emissions from these vehicles.
