Computer model to calculate emissions from road traffic

COPERT, through its links to TREMOVE and DIONE, has been used in impact assessment studies of the European Commission to evaluate the impact of proposed technological and legislative measures to road transport. Examples include measures to reduce CO2 emissions from passenger cars, the introduction of EURO VI standards for heavy duty vehicles, the introduction of EURO 7 standards for all vehicles (except motorcycles), the effects of the internalization of external costs, and others.

COPERT is most suitable to support the policy cycle. It has been used, amongst others in: Clean Air For Europe (CAFE), National Emission Ceilings Directive (NECD), Contributions to the National and EU submissions of Emission Inventories for CLRTAP (Convention for Long Range Transport of Air Pollutants) and UNFCC.
