Lessons from vehicle taxation and restrictions
Background
In most countries, greenhouse gas emissions from transportation are rising
or at best declining gradually

Policies affecting vehicles and driving
Fuel economy/GHG standards for new vehicles
• About half of all vehicles globally
Taxing vehicles with high GHG emissions
• Europe and a few other countries
Restricting private ownership
• Primarily, large Chinese cities
Lessons from recent case studies
Europe: CO2-linked taxes on vehicle purchase or registration
• Taxes tend to favor diesel fuel vehicles over gasoline, increasing sales of
diesels
• Unintended consequence: Local air pollution roughly offsets climate
benefits
Beijing: Vehicle ownership restrictions
• Reduced new vehicle ownership by roughly half
• Proportional drop in driving, mostly shifting to bus and subway
• But: lower fertility and female employment rates
What have we learned?
Fuel economy/GHG standards have been effective, with apparently
moderate costs
Vehicle taxation can be effective, but need to watch out for trade-offs
between GHG and local air pollution (for example, gasoline vs. diesel fuel)
Restricting vehicle ownership has reduced VMT, but driving restrictions
have been less effective

Lightning Talk - Transport: Lessons from Vehicle Taxation and Restrictions

  • 1. Decarbonizing Transport: lightNing Talks Joshua Linn, University of Maryland Lessons from vehicle taxation and restrictions

  • 4. Policies affecting vehicles and driving Fuel economy/GHG standards for new vehicles • About half of all vehicles globally Taxing vehicles with high GHG emissions • Europe and a few other countries Restricting private ownership • Primarily, large Chinese cities
  • 5. Lessons from recent case studies Europe: CO2-linked taxes on vehicle purchase or registration • Taxes tend to favor diesel fuel vehicles over gasoline, increasing sales of diesels • Unintended consequence: Local air pollution roughly offsets climate benefits Beijing: Vehicle ownership restrictions • Reduced new vehicle ownership by roughly half • Proportional drop in driving, mostly shifting to bus and subway • But: lower fertility and female employment rates
  • 6. What have we learned? Fuel economy/GHG standards have been effective, with apparently moderate costs Vehicle taxation can be effective, but need to watch out for trade-offs between GHG and local air pollution (for example, gasoline vs. diesel fuel) Restricting vehicle ownership has reduced VMT, but driving restrictions have been less effective
