2015
Author(s): Keller H, Dünnebeil F, Dongbo Y
This report provides an ex-ante assessment of fuel and GHG emission savings potential of low rolling resistance tyres in China’s commercial road freight sector resulting from China’s Green Tyre programme.
The Southern African Development Community (SADC) is one of the oldest regional economic communities on the African continent. It has developed into a progressive regional institution providing guidance to 15 member states, covering a wide range of economic, social and geographic characteristics.
This report presents shared transportation as a new paradigm of urban mobility. Highlighting the issue of car dominance in the cities, some approaches to mitigating urban mobility problems are summarized.
In the current situation, where we are concerned about the growing energy, carbon and environmental footprint of transport, cycling presents a mitigation with significant GHG reduction and health benefits.

2014
Author(s): Malins C, Searle S, Baral A, Galarza S, Wang H
A report for the European Commission describing regulatory options to allow crediting under the EU’s Fuel Quality Directive of upstream emission reductions from decreased venting and flaring of gas at oil drilling sites.
Annual statistical portrait of technologies, fuel consumption, and GHG and pollutant emissions in Europe’s passenger car, light commercial, and heavy-duty fleets.
This study estimates the effects of the timing and intensity of policies and adds uncertainty about technological progress to the previous study’s analysis of uncertainty about the market’s response. The analyses presented in this report are based on Scenario 2 of the previous report, in which the ZEV standards are enforced through 2025 and continued at the 2025 level through 2030 and then ended.
