Analysis of the motor vehicle fleet as a way to reduce air pollution in the Republic of Kosovo

Abstract

Transport has been considered a basic activity in social and economic life. Motorized traffic is the most massive activity within any country. The Republic of Kosovo remains the place where cars have been used in almost every destination and purpose of travel. The environmental and health effects of car use are already known throughout the globe, so monitoring and analysis in order to minimize their impact is a necessary and scientific requirement. The composition of the road vehicle inventory will serve as the main input for building the model for fleet renewal as a targeted approach to reducing harmful substances emitted into the atmosphere. The most harmful substance from the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels is CO2, therefore the same serves as an instrument for the necessary reform with the rate of vehicle taxation in the Republic of Kosovo.
