Trucks contribute only 3.5% of global CO2 emissions compared to other sectors like energy generation and industry. Advanced internal combustion engine vehicles can further reduce CO2 emissions through increased efficiency. Mercedes-Benz has already increased transport efficiency by nearly 50% since 1960 through greater fuel efficiency and increased payload capacity. The top levers over the next 10 years to reduce truck CO2 emissions are improvements to infrastructure and operations through measures like driver training, speed reduction, and increased use of biofuels.

Non-exhaust Particulate Emissions from Road Transport: An Ignored Environment...OECD Environment
Airborne particulate matter produced from the wearing down of brakes, tyres, and road surfaces, as well as the resuspension of road dust constitute a little-known but rising share of pollution from road traffic. These non-exhaust emissions can have significant negative impacts on public health and are expected to comprise the majority of all particulate matter from road traffic as early as 2035.
Projections from the OECD report Non-exhaust Particulate Emissions from "Road Transport: An Ignored Environmental Policy Challenge" show that electric vehicle uptake in future years will not reduce non-exhaust emissions and may even increase them. On 7 December, our team of experts discussed the nature, causes, and consequences of non-exhaust emissions and how policy makers can address this emerging policy issue.

The EU ETS and global level playing field: the carbon leakage listLeonardo ENERGY
In the design of the European Union’s Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) aiming at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Europe in a cost-effective manner, the co-legislators introduced an element aimed at restoring global level playing field for the industrial sectors which would see their international competitiveness hampered by the additional costs brought by European policy. It was decided that sectors exposed to a high risk of carbon leakage would benefit from a certain amount of free allocation of emission allowances as long as their competitors outside of the EU are not subject to comparable policies.
The definition of “carbon leakage” itself is multifaceted and disputed. The system that has been built ad hoc at EU level is no less complex and burdensome. It has resulted in the elaboration of a series of eligibility steps, going from the periodic carbon leakage list through product-specific benchmarks to the application of a reduction factor aiming at keeping the level of emissions under the cap set in the Directive.
This course will look at this system from the legislative principles viewpoint as well as from the practical side based on past experience. It will also present some perspectives from the EU ETS review exercise launched in July 2015. Last but not least, it will revert back to the global perspective by observing the state of play in the aftermath of the COP21.

to meeting the CO2 emission targets
Executive Summary
•Trucks contribution in the low global CO2 emissions is 3,5%
•Based on an increase of vehicle fuel efficiency and enlargement of the
transportable payload, Mercedes-Benz has shown an increase of transport
efficiency by nearly 50% since 1960
•Latest with the application of Euro VI, the regulated emissions such as NOx and
PM of heavy duty vehicles will be negligible compared to other emission sources.
No further emission legislation is necessary.
•There is no need for legislative activities to restrict CO2 emissions by trucks
because of the high impact of fuel prices on the total costs of ownership
•Top levers to reduce CO2 over the next 10 years are infrastructure and operation.
