The Department for Transport published the outputs of the Transport Energy Model in July 2018 alongside the Road to Zero strategy.<\/p>
<\/p>
The model estimates the average tailpipe emissions of air pollutants, the greenhouse gas emissions and the energy consumption of a range of fuel and powertrain options for cars, vans, buses and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) over the period to 2050.<\/p>
