Abstract: One efficient way to decrease CO₂ emissions is to replace gasoline passenger cars by diesel cars. The paper examines the benefit of CO₂ emissions in the case of an increased diesel penetration in Switzerland, according to several scenarios assuming different future passenger car registrations and fuel consumption. The results show that a significant CO₂ benefit can be achieved if a diesel penetration of more than 30% or 50% occurs. Future CO₂ emissions from the transport sector can be partially controlled with increased diesel car sales, improved fuel consumption and replacement of heavy cars by lighter ones.
