“…LCC analyses have been widely applied to calculate the retail and LCC of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) [9], to assess the cost-efficiency of alternative fuels and drive trains in Thailand [10], to examine the economic feasibility of hydrogen as an alternative fuel [11], to calculate the cost-efficiency of an electric vehicle (EV) versus a petrol-powered vehicle [12] and to make a techno-economic comparison of series hybrid, plug-in hybrid, fuel cell and regular cars [13].…”

“…For other vehicles (e.g., biofuels, EVs), no official figures on energy consumption exist as they are not released on the market yet. The fuel consumption of biofuel vehicles is based on the energy density of the fuel and the percentage of biofuel in the blend [10,33]. Vehicles on E20 and E85 consume respectively 8% and 35% more than the baseline petrol vehicle, whereas B30 and B100 have a smaller surplus consumption (respectively 3 and 10%) with respect to a diesel vehicle as a result of the higher energy density of biodiesel as compared to ethanol [34].…”

Encouraging Environmentally Friendlier Cars via Fiscal Measures: General Methodology and Application to Belgium

et al. 2013

Abstract:In this paper, a Belgian tax reform plan is elaborated to respond to the EU proposal that requires member states to restructure passenger car taxation systems, preferentially based on the CO 2 emissions of the car. A tax orientation on CO 2 emissions alone might however favour diesel vehicles, characterised by a higher fuel efficiency, whereas they release more polluting emissions (PM and NO x ) than comparable gasoline vehicles. This paper introduces a methodology, the Ecoscore, as a potential tax assessment basis. The Ecoscore is based on a well-to-wheel framework and enables a comparison of the environmental burden caused by vehicles with different drive trains and using different fuels. A new proposal for a fixed vehicle taxation system, based on the Ecoscore, is launched. In addition, its impact on the life cycle cost of conventional as well as alternative fuelled cars is measured in order to examine its steering effect towards a cleaner vehicle choice. The overall result is that current tax distortions can be corrected by restructuring the vehicle registration tax and annual circulation tax, based on the Ecoscore. To stimulate behavioural changes, such a fiscal policy should however be paired with additional policies that act on the other important aspects that determine the car purchase decision. Keywords

How Total is a Total Cost of Ownership?

In this paper a segmented Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) model is presented for alternative vehicle technologies as well as its extension with external costs related to vehicle ownership and use. Adding external costs to the TCO extends the interpretation of individual ownership to a societal perspective by describing the effect of the technologies on the costs for the society. This extension, called "Total Cost for Society", suggests that battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles have a lower societal cost than petrol, diesel and compressed natural gas vehicles.
