Technical Analysis of Measures to Improve Consumer Awareness of Emissions and Fuel Consumption of Vehicles
This study aimed to provide the European Commission with evidence-based recommendations for policy measures that improve consumer awareness of light duty vehicles' fuel economy and emissions. The study considered improvements to existing measures, such as the Car Labelling Directive, but also the introduction of new measures that can complement or substitute existing measures. Detailed analysis of the potential impacts of the short-listed measures was undertaken for three main categories: economic, environmental, and social impacts. The measures were grouped into the topics that they address, reflecting different policy elements: Changes to the information channels through which information is communicated; Changes to the information elements that are communicated; Extension of the scope of the Directive; and Increase in the level of harmonisation of implementation in the Member States. Analysis of potential impacts was based on literature and desk research findings, targeted surveys and interviews with key stakeholders, a consumer experiment/randomised controlled trials (RCTs) conducted with over 8,000 consumer participants in three EU countries (Germany, Poland and Spain) and SULTAN modelling to assist in quantifying selected impacts of the measures assessed. Conclusions were drawn for each of the policy elements listed above, before making recommendations relating to a future revision of the Car Labelling Directive.
