Description
Summary:This work focuses on examining the contribution of passenger cars to CO<sub>2</sub>, NO<sub>X</sub>, CO, PM<sub>10</sub>, and NMVOC emissions, as well as the changes in future emissions resulting from the usage of different types of vehicles. Initially, the importance of the road transport sector is discussed, followed by a presentation of data regarding the vehicle fleet. Subsequently, a methodology for forecasting the fleet, and calculating emissions, is introduced. Finally, the results are presented, focusing on the release of gaseous pollutants under different possible scenarios regarding the extent of electric vehicle penetration into the passenger vehicle fleet, for the year 2030.
