TREMOVE is a policy assessment model to study the effects of different transport and environment policies on the emissions of the transport sector. The model estimates for policies as there are road pricing, public transport pricing, emission standards, subsidies for cleaner cars etc. the transport demand, modal shifts, vehicle stock renewal and scrappage decisions as well as the emissions of air pollutants and the welfare level.The model covers passenger and freight transport in the EU 15 plus the accession countries and covers the period 1995-2030.
The baseline scenario as well as results of policy simulations will be crucial inputs for the Clean Air for Europe (CAFE) programme for air quality and the European Climate Change Programme (ECCP), as well as for other programmes.
In November 2002, a project team lead by the KU Leuven and Transport & Mobility Leuven started developing a new TREMOVE model, in a service contract for DG ENV.
The model will be based on the previous TREMOVE model. The (old) TREMOVE model has been developed to support the European policy making process concerning emission standards for vehicles and fuel specifications. TREMOVE is calibrated for nine European countries and calculates for each year from 1996 to 2020 the difference in costs for all transport modes between alternative transport scenarios. The TREMOVE model was developed by the K.U.Leuven in the The Auto-Oil II Cost-Effectiveness Study.
The History of the TREMOVE model
The previous version 1.3a of the TREMOVE model was developed in 1997-1998 by K.U.leuven and DRI as an analytical underpinning for the second European Auto-Oil programme. It is an integrated simulation model developed for the strategic analysis of costs and effects of a wide range of policy instruments and measures applicable to local, regional and European surface transport markets. The current version of the model includes nine EU Member States and was calibrated to 1995 data.
During this project an enhanced and extended TREMOVE 2 model and baseline is developed. The new model covers now also explicitly rail, air and shipping and the model deals with a larger set of pollutants and covers all EU-15 countries, Switzerland, Norway, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovenia. The new model will be calibrated explicitly on other European transport and emission scenarios and will take on board the most recent emission computation methodology.
