Strategic optimization of powertrain technology portfolios by means of market simulation

Zusammenfassung

Climate change is one of the most critical challenges of the 21st century. In order to reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions, the European Union (EU) has set emission reduction targets for each industry sector. Due to the fact that a major part of anthropogenic CO2 emissions can be traced back to the transportation sector, stringent targets regulating new vehicle CO2 fleet emissions were adopted. In 2020, new vehicles should emit less than 95 g/km CO2 on average. Reducing those targets even further is currently under discussion. Possible targets for 2025 range between 68 g/km and 78 g/km and 2030 targets ranging from 50 g/km to 70 g/km.
