Abstract/Summary:

A set of three analytical models is used to study the imbedding of specific transport technologies within a multisector, multiregion evaluation of constraints on greenhouse emissions. The key parameters of a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model are set to mimic the behavior of a model of modal splits and a market allocation (MARKAL) model of household and industry transport activities. In simulation mode, the CGE model provides key economic data to an analysis of the details of transport technology under policy restraint. Results focus on the penetration of new automobile technologies into the vehicle market.
