Production And Operation

Greenhouse gases emission is an important element in the development of the automotive industry. The unceasing trend of reducing the negative impact of vehicles on the environment is a determinant of setting directions for the improvement of their production and operation. One of the solutions in this regard are low-emission vehicles. However, this area requires continuous research and analyses, the results of which are partially presented in this article. The aim of the study was to evaluate the CO2 emission from the selected types of vehicles as in traffic driving, measured based on the standardised type-approval tests. This method allows to easily reproduce the obtained results, reliably compare and also extend it with further tests in a completely independent manner. The CO2 emission in the production process of the vehicle and its fuel, was also evaluated. It was assumed (research hypothesis) that CO2 emission changes significantly with the development of production technology and the use of various vehicle power sources. Based on their own research, the authors also analysed the feasibility/reliability of the assumptions about the benefits associated with emissions, obtained by replacing the classic vehicle with the hydrogen one. They estimated the time and intensity of using a hydrogen-powered vehicle that guarantees a benefit in terms of CO2 emissions compared to a conventional vehicle.

Transportation Activity

There are many definitions of sustainable transport system, but generally it takes into account the three elements of sustainable development: the economy, the environment and the social well-being when deciding on policy that is affecting transportation activity. This paper examines the urban transport policy and its implications on sustainable transport agenda in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. The research utilizes a combination of primary and secondary data. Interview was employed to gather the primary data, while scholarly works, government documents and archival records are the instruments used for gathering the secondary data. The findings shed light on the implications of transport policy on sustainable transport agenda in the Klang Valley. The main challenge seems to be the lack of holistic measures in tackling transport issues that are in conflict with the objectives of sustainable transport. This main factor stems from a combination of several other issues such as decision-making based on short-term result that are mostly driven by economically viable alternatives, transport policies that are focused on technology and structural improvement and the lack of political will to influence development processes that could bring forward sustainable transport agenda. To achieve sustainability, transport policy in Malaysia, particularly in the Klang Valley, must include the wider systems in which transportation activity is rooted.

Motorization in urban areas contributes several problems such as congestion, accidents, gas emissions, noises, andinfrastructure breakage. Meanwhile, most of the developing countries cannot overcome such growth activities, as well as inJakarta. By December 2013, Vice Governor of Jakarta proposes fuel subsidy removal policy as one of sustainable transportpolicy. This study is intended to understand and investigate how fuel subsidy removal policy scenarios (25%, 50%, and 100%)in Jakarta affects travelers’ behavior and analyze such policy to support sustainable transport by using qualitative researchmethodology. Interviews and questionnaires survey is conducted to workers in Jakarta, which includes ranking scale questionfor traveler response options. The result shows that half of the respondents are not affected and will only respond to fuel priceincreasing at IDR 31,400 for gasoline price and IDR 26,300 for ADO (Auto Diesel Oil). Moreover, there is a tendency ofrespondent's to the response by changing their travel mode choices into more fuel efficient private vehicle.
