The diesel trend in Europe:does taxation matter ?
Presentation at the COST Action 355 Meeting BerlinNovember 23 - 25 2005
Outline
- Tax systems and assessment basis in cross EU comparison – evidence for significant differences.
- Comparing petrol and diesel passenger cars – do existing differences in tax charges have any detectable impact.
- Focusing on France and Germany – what factors might influence observable preferences in aggregate passenger car purchase and ownership behaviour.

Focusing on France and Germany
Looking closer at France and Germany – background of the comparison:
- country specific tendencies within newly registered passenger cars from the EU comparison
- STSM of the COST 355 hosted by INRETS-DEST under the supervision of Laurent Hivert and supported by the rest of the DEST research team coordinated by Christophe Rizet
- direct comparison of data sources and exchange of research results
- concentration on analysis of research results based on micro data from relevant travel surveys (not part of today‘s presentation)
- what stands out?

Similarities and differences – F and G
Parallels and dissimilarities in the purchase and ownership of passenger cars – is there any evidence for comparability of behavioural patterns:
- new registrations and fleets of passenger cars
- observable trends from time series
- analogue developments in the two neighbour countries

Passenger car fleets in France and Germany
Potential explanations for apparent purchasing trends of passenger cars:
- significance of engine-type specific differences in fiscal duties charged on passenger cars
- fuel price evolution of petrol vs. diesel – the fiscal component
- additional aspects – efficiency effects and supply side reaction from the automobile industry

Concluding remarks
- for 14 of 17 countries studied clear positioning of diesel-share in relation to taxation can be observed
- fuel duties contribute strongest to relative advantage of diesel cars - structure of the petroleum tax favours in many cases the diesel fuel and
provides as a result for lower per-km cost
- what potential consequences has the fiscal promotion of diesel fuel – the „rebound effect“
- producers‘ response to the „diesel-trend“ – the automobile industry has widened their product range
- promotion of diesel cars for CO2 reduction targets
Concluding Remarks
- for more than a decade F has been dominating within the EU with its diesel car shares in new registrations as well as in the overall national passsenger car fleet evolution
- the consistently existing relative fiscal cost advantage of diesel vehicles supported by their fuel efficiency allowed the French car users to shift their preferences towards this particular engine segment over a fairly long time period – supply side adjustments from the car manufacturers side followed contributing positively to the evolving diesel passenger car demand
- since beginning of the 90s diesel cars have been evolving also in G into an economically attractive automobility alternative – rising shares of newly registered diesel cars clearly indicate this tendency
- where does the development in G lead – can France‘s diesel-trend be seen as pathbreaking? and can advanced methodological analysis clear the picture?
Concluding Remarks
- for more than a decade F has been dominating within the EU with its diesel car shares in new registrations as well as in the overall national passsenger car fleet evolution
- plausible explanations for the evident popularity of diesel passanger vehicles in F are the moderate annualized taxation charges on cars with diesel engine, in particular the long run favourable fiscality of diesel fuel in contrast to petrol
- the consistently existing relative price advantage of diesel vehicles supported by their fuel efficiency allowed the French car users to shift their preferences towards this particular engine segment over a fairly long time period – supply side adjustments from the car manufacturers side followed contributing positively to the evolving diesel passenger car demand
- since beginning of the 90s diesel cars evolved also in G into an economically attractive automobility alternative – rising shares of newly registered diesel cars clearly indicate this tendency for G
- where does the development in G lead – can France‘s diesel-trend be seen as pathbreaking? and can advanced methodological analysis clear the picture?
