Environmental costs of traffic 1980-2011

This table provides information on the costs of measures to combat environmental pollution from traffic. The annual environmental costs consist to a large extent of capital costs of investments in vehicle adaptations. In addition, the environmental costs consist of additional costs of, among other things, environmentally friendly fuels, installation of noise barriers and housing insulation by the government and environmentally friendly dismantling of end-of-life vehicles. In addition to the costs of environmental measures, the fees paid and the subsidies received are also mapped out. The environmental investments and capital costs of energy-efficient cars are not included in the environmental costs by CBS. Buyers of energy-efficient cars receive a discount on the BPM. Since these funds flow back to the general resources, they are outside the environmental cost definition of CBS. As a result, they are not included in the table. Data available from 1980 to 2011. Status of the figures: All figures are final. Changes as of 8 July 2016: None, this table has been discontinued. When are new figures coming? No longer applicable. This table is followed by environmental costs of traffic, see paragraph 3.
