Abstrakt

Rozszerzenie floty pojazdów napędzanych paliwami alternatywnymi stanowi ważny instrument realizacji celów klimatycznych Unii Europejskiej. Celem badania jest scharakteryzowanie i ocena, w sposób porównawczy, obecnego etapu popularyzacji samochodów osobowych napędzanych paliwami alternatywnymi w państwach członkowskich UE. Punktem centralnym badania jest eksploracja podobieństw i różnic obserwowanych pomiędzy krajami unijnymi w odniesieniu do aktualnej struktury floty pojazdów napędzanych paliwami alternatywnymi oraz tendencji rozwojowych w tym zakresie. W tym kontekście zaobserwować można wyraźny schemat „dwóch prędkości” – równolegle do szybkiego rozpowszechniania pojazdów elektrycznych w krajach skandynawskich i zachodnioeuropejskich wielkość i struktura floty pojazdów napędzanych alternatywnie pozostała w dużej mierze niezmieniona w krajach Europy Środkowej, z wciąż dominującą rolą utrwalonego na tych rynkach skroplonego gazu płynnego (LPG). Wyniki badania podkreślają potrzebę dywersyfikacji paliw alternatywnych, które należy wprowadzać stopniowo, zgodnie z klasyfikacją zaproponowaną w dyrektywie 2014/94/UE Parlamentu Europejskiego i Rady.
