TEMPO Transport model

ECN’s transport model TEMPO (Transport Emissions Model for POlicy evaluation) determines the emissions and energy use of the transport sector based on several data inputs, including (anticipated) amounts of kilometers driven (transport performance). By comparing scenarios with different starting points, it is possible to determine the impact of certain measures on the emissions and energy use of the sector.

Road transport is divided into a number of categories, including passenger cars, delivery vans, buses, trucks and lorries. Per category a further subdivision is made according to the primary fuel (gasoline, diesel or LPG). To enable calculations of future scenarios, advanced drive-train technologies or alternative fuels have been added to the model, including hydrogen fuel cell cars, electric vehicles, and (plug-in) hybrid versions for gasoline and diesel. Below is a schematic overview of the model:
