Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Diesel: The true (dirty) story

Publicación: [Madrid] : Ecologistas en acción, 2017Descripción física: 63 p.Notas: Sumario: Two years after the Dieselgate scandal first broke the full scale of the cheating and deception by carmakers is still emerging. There are now 37 million dirty diésel cars and van son the EU's roads. But whilst the way carmakers have cheated emissions rules is becoming clearer the response from carmakers and Governments is derisory with only a tiny fraction of these diesels cleaned up. This report draws on a wide range of data and analysis to examine the underlying reasons for Europe's diésel addiction, i.e. the biased regulations and taxes that have artificially created the bloated sales of diesel cars in Europe that until recently represented over half of the new car market. It also examines the consequences for health and the environment and wider economic effects of dieselisation. Contrary to perceived wisdom it shows that diesel cars are not actually lower carbon than gasoline versions if emissions are considered across the full lifecycle of the vehicle.Materia / lugar / evento: Vehículos automóviles Vehículos diésel Conservación del medio ambiente Depósitos de carburante Derecho comunitario Unión Europea Otros autores: Ecologistas en Acción
