Regulate reality in vehicle emission policy
Abstract
Vehicle emission standards have long been based on laboratory tests. We argue that policymakers now can and should regulate vehicles also based on real-world data. Europe’s performance-based regulation of plug-in hybrid vehicles can help develop more adaptive and evidence-based policies for transportation, energy, and environment.
