policy support

policy role

The model is employed to provide policy support in the context of decarbonisation and electrification of road transport, as well as for assessing possible transitions towards alternative fuels for road transport in general.

It has been used in support of the Impact Assessment for post-2020 emissions standards for cars and vans (2017) supporting DG CLIMA, for the Assessment of National Framework Plans under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Directive (2017) supporting DG MOVE, and for the support of the Impact Assessment on fuel efficiency standards for heavy-duty vehicles (2018) supporting DG CLIMA. Previously, it has been employed to prepare scenarios as an input for the EC Communication on decarbonising the transport sector. Furthermore, it was recently used to calculate road transport energy consumptions for a 2050 scenario study within the ERTRAC CO2 working group. Further work is under way to soft-link DIONE emission calculation and cost curves with JRC's POTEnCIA model and employ it for scenario analysis on behalf of DG MOVE.

It can also be used to assess scenarios on the electrification of transport in line with the Energy Union strategy, to analyse possible transport sector measures for implementing a new effort sharing decision, as well as for reaching the Transport White Paper carbon emission reduction and conventional vehicle phase-out goals.
