摘要: |
On-road vehicles are the predominant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the transportation sector (principally, CO2 and hydrocarbon emissions from vehicle air conditioners). Of all on-road vehicles, light-duty passenger cars and trucks produce the majority of these GHG emissions. As EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality explores the regulation of CO2 and other GHG emission control measures in on-road and non-road vehicles and equipment, there is a need to evaluate the costs and benefits of any such regulations. As such, EPA has developed its Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emissions Cost and Compliance Model, or VGHG model, to facilitate its analysis of the costs and benefits of the control of GHG emissions from cars and trucks. Broadly speaking, the primary cost of GHG emission control is the cost of adding technology to the vehicles, while the primary benefit is the value of reduced fuel consumption in those same vehicles. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC.
