Abstract(s)
This work aims to assess the performance of European countries on the
deployment of low-emission vehicles in road transportation. For this purpose, a
model based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used to calculate a composite
indicator for several European countries, aggregating seven sub-indicators built
from a data set for the 2019 year. Various virtual weight restrictions schemes of
the sub-indicators are studied to explore the robustness of the performance results.
By adopting the most robust scheme, the performance results obtained indicate that
most European countries have the potential to improve their practices towards better
road transport sustainability, by emulating the best practices observed in the four
identified benchmarks. Thus, the inefficient countries should take measures to better
support the market share of plug-in electric vehicles. In addition, the railway sector
and the penetration of renewable energies should be enhanced to improve road
transportation sustainability.
