The predicted decline comes despite the expected growth in traffic, rising from 80 billion kilometres per year in 2004 to 100 billion in 2030... Anticipated technological improvements in vehicle engines is cited as the main reason for a reduction in the emission of dangerous gases, except for carbon dioxide... The findings were presented by the Leuven-based research centre Transport & Mobility Leuven, a joint venture between the Leuven Catholic University and the Dutch research bureau TNO... In 1990, there were 60 billion kilometres driven each year, 80 billion in 2004 and an expected 100 billion in 2030. The survey also predicted that the percentage of diesel-fuelled cars would also increase... The study also took into account expected economic growth.
