In the Pre-Budget Report (PBR) released on 9 December, UK Chancellor Alistair Darling announced that all electric cars will be exempt from Company Car Tax (CCT) for 5 years and electric vans will be exempt from Van Benefit Charge (VBC) for the same period. per gallon US) in real terms on 1 April each year from 2010 to 2013.
Direct transportation (fuel) taxes generate the greatest reductions in CO 2 emission from transportation, achieving CO 2 emissions at 86% of 2005 levels by about 2025. While CO 2 prices are equivalent to fueltaxes, CO 2 prices at their projected levels are far too small to create a significant incentive to drive less.
The California State Board of Equalization (BOE) will consider lowering the excise tax rate for gasoline by 2.2 If adopted, the excise tax rate on gas will be 27.8 The current excise tax rate of 30 cents per gallon remains in effect until 30 June 2016. cents per gallon from 1 July 2016 through 30 June 2017.
users pay for the construction and maintenance of roads via a federal fueltax. Revenues from the tax go into the federal Highway Trust Fund, which is independent of the General Fund; every five years or so Congress passes an authorization bill to allocate these revenues. —Huang et al.
From 1970 to 2010, vehicle distance travelled in the US increased by 155% (from 1.674 trillion km to 4.260 trillion km); however, because vehicle load (i.e., This has led some researchers to argue that the policy emphasis should be on reducing vehicle distance traveled through an increased fueltax—with fleet-wide effect.).
Between 2010 and 2021, worldwide nickel usage grew almost 90%. There are also unanswered questions about how to even finance electrification or road construction and maintenance given lost revenues from fuelstaxes, Foss said. This surge occurred mostly in China, driven by steel manufacturing.
Researchers from the University of Iowa report the initial results of a 2-year field study evaluating the technical feasibility and user acceptance of mileage-based charging as a potential replacement for the current motor fueltax in a paper in Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board.
Tax credits and gasoline prices necessary for various electric vehicles to be cost-competitive with conventional vehicles at 2011 vehicle prices. That finding takes into account both the higher purchase price of an electric vehicle and the lower fuel costs over the vehicle’s life. Source: CBO. Click to enlarge. billion through 2019.
The analysis was based on various combinations of policy options and technological improvements including new vehicle emission limits, increased fueltaxes, support for electric and hydrogen technologies, EU motorway speed limits and land transport’s inclusion in the EU’s emissions trading scheme (ETS).
IEA fuel economy readiness index status, 2010. The policy package includes a new fuel economy readiness index, which measures the extent to which countries have implemented steps that will fully exploit the potential of existing fuel economy technologies and maximise their use in vehicles.

Since some 36% of diesel is used off-road, such as on farms, by manufacturing, industrial and commercial ventures, and boats, a fueltax for road use would impose an unfair burden onto these sectors, the government says.). In New Zealand, diesel and electric-powered vehicles pay for their road use through road user charges.
CO 2 emissions decrease through 2050 by about 10% relative to 2010 in the “Favorable” scenario with only intra-EU27 traffic. R&D as above plus carbon tax applied from 2015, and increased over 10 years to a maximum value of €100/t (US$131) CO 2. With R&D plus a €100/t CO 2 carbon tax, lifecycle CO 2 emissions reduction doubles to 16?19%
Valence is strengthening its automotive accreditation by working towards TS 16949 accreditation in 2010. In May 2008, the Telegraph newspaper in the UK reported that British drivers paid 57 pence/liter or $2.99/ gallon of diesel in excise tax which doesn’t include the value added tax. gallon in January 2009. The Maxity, a 7.5
The Fund is replenished by revenue collected from motor fueltaxes. The situation has worsened with decreasing fuel purchases; the advent of more fuel-efficient vehicles in the future would also further stress the existing funding mechanism. The Highway Trust Fund. The mainstay of funding is the 18.3-cent-per-gallon
Projected cumulative greenhouse gas reductions from 2010-2050 by strategy category under maximum deployment scenario. per gallon fueltax by 2050) could result in an additional reduction of 28% in GHG emissions. Highlights of the nine categories analyzed in the Moving Cooler report include: Pricing and taxes.
From 2010 through 2016, average battery cost per kilowatt-hour has dropped 74%, from over $1,000 to $273/Kwh while energy density has improved 5% per year. The growth of ZEVs represents a potential drain on motor vehicle fueltaxes, which could affect state transportation revenue. Grid overload is another concern.
At the same time, however, Mr Darling has announced a two pence per litre increase on fuel duty which will apply from September this year. There will then be an additional one penny increase above the rate of inflation per year from 2010 to 2013. He believes it penalises those who commute and drive their children to school.
A more effective policy would rely on specific taxes and subsidies targeted directly at achieving specific environmental, energy and agricultural policy goals, according to the study. Biofuel policies are clearly inferior to a portfolio of specific taxes and subsidies that directly target environmental, energy and agricultural policy goals.
The results of the report’s plausible yet aggressive scenarios for the United States show the potential for technological improvements to more than offset fleet growth and, by 2050, reduce fuel use and GHG impacts by up to 50%. Includes vehicle weight reduction: at constant acceleration capability.
