EMISSIONS FROM ROAD TRAFFIC IN THE VARIOUS REGIONS OF THE SWEDISH NATIONAL ROAD ADMINISTRATION. DEVELOPMENT WITH AND WITHOUT THE OPTIMAL USAGE OF ENGINE HEATERS

The total cost of cold starts in 1996 have been estimated to be at least SEK 3.7 billion. The following are some of the other results: (1) the various regions of the Swedish National Road Administration will probably be unable to meet the environmental target for CO2 by 2010; (2) cold start extra emissions will constitute an increasing proportion of total emissions in the years to come; (3) today's usage of electric heaters reduces cold start extra emissions of HC, CO and particulates by about 7 percent, and the cold start extra fuel consumption by about 4 percent; (4) optimal usage of electric heaters would not improve the trend regarding CO2 and NOX, although marginal improvements could be expected regarding other substances; (5) optimal usage of existing electric heaters would lead to major both socio and private economic cost reductions compared with the present level, mainly through lower electricity consumption; (6) private and socio economic reasons do not in general justify recommending increased installation of electric heaters; and (7) electricity consumption by engine heaters and cabin heaters can be of more than marginal importance for the Swedish electricity system.
