TREMOVE EU-wide transport model

TREMOVE EU-wide transport model

TREMOVE is a policy assessment model analyses the cost-effectiveness of technical and non-technical measures aimed at (1) reducing emissions from the entire transport sector and at (2) improving the air quality, for 21 countries: EU-15, Switzerland, Norway, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovenia (the four new Member States have been selected on the basis of data availability).

Passenger and freight, road, rail, water and air transportation are included: the model covers all inland urban and interurban transport modes, and includes also maritime transport in North Sea, English Channel, Irish Sea, Baltic Sea, Black Sea and Mediterranean, together with air transport for each of these countries.

The estimations carried out by TREMOVE include a variety of policies (e.g. road pricing, public transport pricing, emission standards, clean-car subsidies, etc.), transport demand, modal shifts and vehicle stock-renewal and scrappage decisions, as well as emissions of air pollutants and welfare levels.
