Sažetak
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of road transport amount to less than 0.3 % of global emissions. Therefore, it would be more efficient to reduce them in other fields, e.g.in the building industry. In spite of that, road transport is pointed out, even in the Kyoto Protocol, as one of the most important targets when the reduction of the global GHG emissions is concerned. However, Germany is the only country among all European countries which has reached the planned decrease in GHG emissions, which means that there are considerable difficulties in achieving the promoted goals. Looking to the future, demands like improved engines and fuels have more chances to sustain the mobility than new power train systems based on expensive, disputable hydrogen technology. Bearing all this in mind, there is room for doubt whether GHG emissions from road transport should be so severely restricted.
