Six success stories on improving environmental performance of road transport in Europe

19 Mar 2008

The report 'Success stories within the road transport sector on reducing greenhouse gas emission and producing ancillary benefits' released today by the EEA, explores six projects — implemented in the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom — that have helped to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and therefore contribute to the EU's medium and long-term targets on climate change. These projects have also helped improve air quality and reduce noise.
