Environmental and Financial Evaluation of Passenger Vehicle Technologies in Belgium
Vehicles with alternative drive trains are regarded as a promising substitute for conventional cars, considering the growing concern about oil depletion and the environmental impact of our transportation system. However, ―clean‖ technologies will only be viable when they are cost-efficient. In this paper, the environmental impacts and the financial costs of different vehicle technologies are ca...
متن کاملDiesel engines: environmental impact and control--a critical review introduction.
Diesel engines are widely used to power trucks, buses, passenger cars, locomotives, and ships. These engines power the heavy equipment that plants and harvests crops, tills soil, clears and reshapes land for roads and buildings, and hauls ores from mines to processing centers.

متن کاملOptimal taxation of car ownership, car use and public transport: Insights derived from a discrete choice numerical optimization model
We formulated and numerically evaluated a model of car ownership, car use and public transport use for peak and off-peak hours of the day. The model was used to study the optimal tax structure for passenger transport in Belgium, with special emphasis on the optimal tax treatment of diesel versus gasoline cars. We obtained a number of interesting results. First, if the government can set all fix...
متن کاملModelling and Analysis of Plug-in Series-Parallel Hybrid Medium-Duty Vehicles
The paper studies a series-parallel hybrid powertrain configuration for the medium-duty plug-in hybrid trucks and Volt-like passenger cars. The series-parallel hybrid combines the features of the parallel hybrid and the series hybrid. Series-parallel hybrid powertrains with preand post-transmission configuration for the plug-in hybrid medium-duty trucks were modelled and compared with a convent...
متن کاملpermission of the Transportation Research Board . Title : To LDT or Not to LDT : An Assessment of the Principal Impacts of Light - Duty Trucks
Light-duty truck classification allows manufacturers and owners to avoid a host of passenger-car regulations, including gas-guzzler taxes, safety standards, and more stringent emissions and fueleconomy standards. This paper describes the distinct policies that govern light duty trucks and passenger cars, evaluates the emissions, safety, and fuel economy differences that have resulted, and inves...
متن کاملPricing automobiles to reflect their perceived quality differential in the U.S. automobile market: An empirical study
At the beginning of the 1980’s, there was a gap in quality between cars from the Big Three and those made by the Japanese. Since then, the Big Three had adopted the Japanese production techniques, parts procurement practices, and labor relations to improve quality of their automobiles dramatically. During the period, the Japanese manufacturers kept their automobiles more expensive than the comp...
