Abstract

The main objective of the present study is to analyze the impact of the market share increase of different vehicle technologies in terms of energy consumption and CO₂ emissions in the Portuguese mainland region. An extensive characterization of how road vehicle technologies energy consumption and CO₂ emissions compare in a full life cycle perspective was attained. The main conclusions are that plug-in hybrid, electric and fuel cell vehicles can have the potential to reduced energy consumption (up to 9%) and CO₂ emissions (up to 19%) in a full life cycle analysis.

Keywords:

Vehicle technology; energy consumption; CO₂ emission; Portuguese road transportation sector
