Despite technological advances and modern vehicles, “greenhouse gas” emissions from “road” transportation are on the rise.
The largest share of “greenhouse gas” emissions originated from the transport sector belongs to the “road” transportation, with 92.37% in 2016. This ratio has been increasing especially since 2011 and approached the rate of 1990.
Despite the use of modern vehicles with “greenhouse gases” reduction characteristics (environmentally friendly engines) in the transport sector, the share of “greenhouse gases” emission within the sector is encreasing . Could the reason for this be that: especially the vehicles used in “road” transportation are old (the model) and there are more “repeated” and / or “return” transports in domestic transportation?
