Exhaust gas emissions from road vehicles influences the environment and life quality of inhabitants, mainly in urban areas. The production of harmful emissions was rapidly decreased by introducing emission standards and limits. Opposite them, the huge increasing number of operated vehicles, mainly in developed countries f. e. in Europe, it eliminates the advantages of new and environmental friendlier vehicles. One of useful solution for health protection of urban inhabitants seems the introducing and supporting alternative propulsions in vehicles—hybrid vehicles and full electric vehicles. Transport and its direct activities are important consumers of energy and producers of greenhouse gases (GHG). The energy intensity and specific GHG production from transport activities are the key targets of the near future in the course of sustainable transport and mobility. There are different approaches to calculate GHG emissions from transport worldwide. In Europe, this has led to the need to standardize the methodology of GHG emissions calculation, the result is European standard EN 16258.
