We suggest to add: "Non-CO2-emissions can be avoided by using
mobile air-conditioning systems based on low GWP refrigerants
like e.g. CO2 which have been developed recently."
(Government of Germany)
15 B 12 21 12 34 “Transportation emissions are growing faster than emissions in any
other sector. However, since the TAR, more mitigation options in
the transport sector have become available.” This discussion of
mitigation options for transportation emissions seems to be focused
almost exclusively on cleaner and/or more fuel efficient vehicles.
What is barely mentioned here, and is covered in less than two
pages in Chapter 5, is the potential for transport demand
management that is aimed at reducing vehicle-miles traveled
(VMT). Particularly with the rapid growth of broadband Internet
access, new opportunities for VMT reduction are increasingly
available. U.S. Government

15 A 12 22 12 31 most other sectoral statements apply confidence statements, add
confidence statement also here (high confidence?)
(Rob Swart, MNP)
15 A 12 22 12 27 Recent literature shows the positive mitigation impacts of modal
shift programmes. For instance see: Shell Germany Mobility
Scenario 2030 indicating that motorisation of young men in
Germany had declined from 605 in 1993 down to 453 in 2003 due
to wider availability of public transportation options. We suggest to
replace the current text with the following 'New developments
include successful demand-mangement systems, such as kilometre
charging, the marking of efficient hybrid vehicles and cleaner
diesels as well as the growing use of biofuels'. We also propose to
include the following sentence 'Substantional modal shift, further
fuel economy improvements and a substational increase of biofuels
based on advanced conversation techniques are possible'.

Response suggested by cochairs
DISCUSS if this is important
enough (in terms of reduction
potential)
DISCUSS; ch 5 should improve
its treatment on the effects of
public transport and then this
could be added to SPM
