Abstract

With one third of greenhouse gas emissions and 40% of the CO2 emissions, road transport is responsible for the largest portion of climate gases of all energy sectors in Switzerland. These emissions have actually even slightly increased since 1990, while they decreased for example in the heat production sector. Private motorized road traffic in Switzerland, consisting of 4.5 Mio passenger cars and 0.4 Mio utility vehicles, performed a mileage of approximately 91.0 billion pkm (57.3 billion vehicle-km) and 17.2 billion tkm (6.4 billion vehicle-km), consuming 3.4 billion liters of gasoline and 3.2 billion liters of diesel. Thereby, 16.4 million tons of CO2 were produced, 10.2 million tons from passenger cars and 1.6 million tons from delivery vehicles and trucks.
