Convergence in road transport CO2 emissions in Europe

Angel S. Marrero et al.

Summary: In Europe, road transport is the largest polluter of CO2 emissions, with countries showing a convergence trend in emissions but influenced by structural factors. The speed of convergence has increased over time, but has led to undesirably high emission levels due to laggard countries catching up with leaders. Structural factors such as economic activity and fuel prices significantly impact the convergence speed, indicating the need for policy intervention to reduce emissions levels.
