Taršių automobilių kaita Lietuvoje ; Change of polluting cars in Lithuania

Abstract

It was established that the introduction of the pollution tax in Lithuania influenced the choice of the majority of drivers to replace the old polluting car with a less polluting and more environmentally friendly one. The transport sector accounts for almost 30%. of the European Union's total CO2 emissions, and 72% of this is CO2 emissions from roads. The most important indicator for reviewing environmental requirements for vehicles is carbon dioxide emissions, which must not 130 exceed 130 grams per kilometer. Comparing diesel-powered cars with gasoline-powered ones, their number has risen to 2.6 times before the introduction of the pollution tax on the first day of July 2020.
