Could the sufficiency of vehicles be used to apply a progressive and large-scale car fee at the city level?

Cities, cars and their policies
Cars remain an issue for citiesUse of space
Traffic jams in Beijing Car-free time square
Cars remain an issue for citiesPollution
Low-Emission Zones in Europe Odd-even rationing during a smog event in Paris
Urban policies to deal with carsPull policies
Comprehensive public transport projects On-demand public transport in Helsinki
Better facilities for soft modes in London Sharing systems
Urban policies to deal with carsPush policies
Parking policies Low-Emission Zones
Congestion charging in London Lotteries are used in China
Urban policies to deal with carsGreener vehicles
Up to $27 000 incentives in Shangai for PEVNorway has the highest share of electric vehicles sales
(2.5% in 2013)
Still cars have a bright future
“The projected growth in motorisation however remains rapid across all major urban areas in China. Avoiding the move towards carbon intensive travel –
based largely on the ICE petrol car – will be extremely difficult.”
Light-duty vehicles stock predicted evolution between 2010 and 2030
Binary vs progressive car policies
National car policies make distinctions between cars
Fuel economy standards and their objectives in the USFuel taxes
Differentiated purchase tax/rebate based on CO2
Yearly taxes are mostly indexed on car characteristic
Urban car policies are less progressive
Many urban car policies restrict the use of space
Taxes are independent of a vehicle’s characteristics
Incentives for green vehicles are limited
Which car characteristic for a progressive car fee in a city?
Efficiency and sufficiency

Results
How well would CO2 emissions be targeted?
How well would the size of cars be targeted?
How would the cheap vehicles be charged?
How would the cheap vehicles be charged?
How well would the price of vehicles be targeted?
Effective implementation of a city-wide progressive car charge?
Many interesting issues
Format?
Pricing?
Allocation of revenues?
Exemptions?
Technical feasibility?
Acceptance?
Synergies with other policies?
Milan: from environmental charging to congestion charging
Conclusion
Could the sufficiency of vehicles be used to apply a progressive and large-scale car fee at the city level?
Thank you!
