“…The spontaneous replacement of the old vehicle fleet resulting from the purchase of new cars in Poland is quite slow, and the highly-developed used vehicle market, which is in high demand, does not allow for the quick elimination of old cars from Polish roads [122][123][124]. The recently observed large increase in the popularity of electric vehicles [125][126][127] and the development of hydrogen propulsion [128] provide a great opportunity to accelerate this trend.…”

Constantly changing vehicle stock, modification of road infrastructure, and other conditions result in a need to update the knowledge on the effectiveness of individual traffic management strategies, which could form the basis for actions taken by local authorities to improve air quality in crowded city centers, especially in street canyons. The article presents research results that evaluate the theoretical effects of introducing select traffic reorganization scenarios in the example of four street canyons located in Krakow (Poland) that are different in terms of vehicle traffic volume and canyon geometry. These scenarios were based on a reduction in the average traffic speed, road capacity or the admission of cars meeting certain exhaust emission standards. The authors estimated changes in emissions of nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2 and total NOx) and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) as well as investigated the effect of these changes on air quality in the canyons using the Operational Street Pollution Model (OSPM). Significant effects in terms of improving air quality were identified only in scenarios based on a significant reduction in traffic volume and the elimination of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles with internal combustion engines that did not meet the requirements of the Euro 4, Euro 5 or Euro 6 emission standards. For these scenarios, depending on the variant and canyon analyzed, the emission reduction was achieved at a level of approximately 36–66% for NO, 28–77% for NO2, 35–67% for NOx and 44–78% for both PM10 and PM2.5. The expected effect of improving air quality in individual street canyons for these substances was 15–44%, 5–14%, 11–36% and 3–14%, respectively. The differences obtained in the percentage reduction of emissions and pollutant concentrations in the air were the result of a relatively high background of pollutants that suppress the achieved effect of improving air quality to a large extent.

Local car markets in an emerging economy: exploring the dichotomous nature of car ownership growth

The intensive motorization growth observed in emerging and developing economies has attracted increased academic attention. However, many existing studies frequently investigate the car ownership determinants that are typical of Western countries and use aggregate measures that mask the role of imported used cars. This implies that there is an important research gap concerning the role of the second-hand vehicles as a source of car ownership growth in emerging and developing countries. This paper aims to reveal the dichotomous character of car ownership growth in an emerging economy and identify the determinants of local primary (new cars) and secondary (imported used cars) car markets. Using data from the Polish Central Vehicle Register containing entries for more than 20 million cars registered and applying the spatial regression models, we disclose that in addition to well-known determinants of car ownership growth, such as income, population density, and housing types, there may be other factors specific to emerging economies driving this process. Specifically, we test the influence of geographical distance on the source of the car supply and the number of companies and entrepreneurs importing and repairing used cars. The findings suggest that future investigations of motorization processes concerning developing and emerging economies should consider the scale of second-hand car imports and its impact on car ownership and seek country-specific determinants of the phenomenon.
