English Abstract

This paper has been prepared to present standards, measurements and projections of the mean CO2 emissions of potential passenger cars stock on actual road conditions to 2015 and 2020.

To this aim, on road sampling exercise was conducted and four emissions were measured using the exhaust gas analyzer KM9106.

CO2 emission was approaching its maximum value of about 15 % of the total value of the measured vehicle emissions.

This is due to improvements in engine manufacturing and using catalytic converters.

CO2 emissions of new passenger cars registered in Palestine are monitored in order to meet the objectives of EuroMed transport initiatives adopted by Palestine and in line with Regulation EC 443 / 2009.

This regulation is setting emission performance standards for new passenger cars as part of the EuroMed's integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light duty vehicles provides an average CO2 emission target for new passenger cars of 130 g CO2 / km from 2015 onwards to be phased-in from 2012.

This decreases to 95 g / km in 2020.

The Palestinian national authority, in support of enforcing this regulation, has produced a set of actions, including, customs and taxes fundamental reductions for new passenger cars that meet the regulations (Euro 5 and above).

This reduction is from 75 % to 50% for petrol cars, 30 % for hybrid cars, and only 10 % for electric cars, which is considered the lowest in the region.

This design was made to reduce the prices of new passenger cars in order encourage people to replace their old cars with newer ones and therefore reduce on-road emissions.

This exercise appears useful to and may be used to better understand vehicle fleet activity and emissions data and thus to be able to improve environmental protection measures in Palestine.
