Volvo has sharpened its diesel range with the introduction of two new five-cylinder, 2.4-litre turbo diesels, the 2.4D and D5. The new engines have resulted in a significant reduction in CO2 emissions whilst also offering a power boost.
Policymakers use vehicle and fuel taxes to target and reduce transportation greenhouse gas emissions. In 2010, the South African government joined this group, linking taxes to passenger-vehicle CO2-emission rates by introducing the vehicle CO2 tax, to reduce the carbon output of the new vehicle ...
The embodied emissions are taxed independently of their origin. The CO2 tax rates applied are identical and revenues of the new CO2 tax are in both cases recycled via lower social security contributions of employers as well as of employees. The analysis is done with a DYNK (Dynamic New ...
Carbon floor prices involve countries setting unilateral policies to establish a minimum price for carbon, for example by imposing an additional tax on CO2 emissions on top of the EU carbon price. If EU carbon prices continue to rise in line with some analysts' forecasts, this is likely to ...
The nominal rates for the tax proportional to the carbon emissions rates and for the carbon tax are calculated so that the total real revenue from the vehicles sold and registered between April 2005 and October 2010 is equal to that from the VED. ...
and an additional CO2tax that depends on the amount of CO2emissions. In this study, the well-control optimization is solved for different CO2tax rates, and the optimal solutions for the different tax rates are compared and analysed. The methodology is tested using two heterogeneous reservoir model...
A system called carbon border adjustments is on the agenda as well, so that goods imported from countries with looser environmental regulations will likely face higher tax rates. Unless Tokyo takes steps to respond to those changes, the competitiveness of Japanese companies could gradually be undermin...
Evaluations are complicated by frequent changes in tax rates, widespread exemptions and the 'too many variables' problem. Attempts have been made to deal with these problems by using a variety of approaches and research techniques, some more advanced than others. On balance the studies appear to ...
