Action Today to Protect Tomorrow
London’s Climate Change Action Plan
Reducing CO2 from Transport
Mark Evers
Transport for London
Approach to tackling climate change
in London
1. Baseline: London’s 1990 and 2006 CO2 footprint
2. Future emissions: What will London’s emissions
be under ‘business as usual’?
3. Targets: What reductions are needed for London
to play its role in stabilising global temperatures?
4. Quantified actions: How can London deliver these
targets?
5. Cost/benefit: At a high level, what would the
actions cost and what will be the CO2 benefits?
6. Implementation: What do we need to do to make
this happen?

Green Transport Programme
Changing the way Londoners travel
Operating vehicles more efficiently
Promoting lower-carbon vehicles,
infrastructure and fuels
Shifting demand to less harmful
transport modes is critical

Travel demand management is critical
to reducing CO2 emissions from cars

TDM measures will be implemented
together in the same place
2 Programme will be adequately
funded (£5m over 3 years)
3 Performance will be measured
before, during and after pilot
Eco-driving can reduce average
vehicle emissions by up to 10%
• Applicable to cars and taxis,
freight, buses and even trains
• Potential savings:
–

–
Smooth driving (5-10% saving)
Correct tyre pressures (2-4% saving)
Regular servicing (4% saving)
Obeying the speed limit (up to 25%)
• TfL will be supporting national
initiatives with local campaigns

CO2 emissions vary by type of car
and within the same model range
• VW Golf 1.9 litre diesel engine
• Cost: £16,500
• 132 grams CO2 /km
• VW Golf 3.2 litre petrol engine
• Cost: £25,000
• 255 grams CO2 /km
Same car, twice the CO2!
