    benefits are very limited. For instance, eVTOLs emit less CO 2 only when compared to combustion engines. In comparison to electric cars, eVTOLs require even more energy, which means they do not contribute [...] to the energy transition in the transport sector,” explains Dr. Anna Straubinger from ZEW’s “Environmental and Climate Economics” Unit.

This article considers various negative external [...] external effects resulting from the use of combustion engines. A number of economic policy instruments can help to reduce these effects in the long term, such as the introduction of an urban road pricing scheme

    Policy measures such as diesel car bans, the phasing out of cars using internal combustion engines or free public transport have been the focus of recent debates on transport policy. These proposals are [...] d among drivers. Although diesel car bans can indeed be beneficial in terms of certain local environmental effects to some extent, they do e.g. not create incentives for those who drive standard petrol
