Indexed European transport sector greenhouse gas emissions, 1990-2006. Emissions of regulated air pollutants from vehicles continue to fall across EEA member countries but concentrations remain high in some urban areas. This would improve the transport efficiency of the economy and decouple transport growth from economic growth.
