LTStraipsnyje analizuojama taršių automobilių kaita Lietuvoje įvedus taršos mokestį. Nustatyta, kad taršos mokesčio įvedimas Lietuvoje įtakojo didžiosios dalies vairuotojų pasirinkimą pakeisti seną taršų automobilį mažiau taršesniu ir ekologiškesniu. Transporto sektoriuje išskiriama beveik 30 proc. viso Europos Sąjungos išskiriamo CO2 kiekio, o 72 proc. šio kiekio sudaro keliuose išmetamas CO2. Apžvelgus aplinkosaugos reikalavimus transporto priemonėms svarbiausias yra šis rodiklis: išmetamo anglies dioksido kiekis, kuris turi būti ne didesnis, nei 130 g/km. Pagrindinė problema, seno automobilių parko atnaujinimas. Straipsnyje, pasitelkus statistinių duomenų analizės metodą, lyginami dyzelinu varomi automobiliai su benzininiais. Palyginus dyzeliniais degalais varomus automobilius su benzininiais, jų skaičiaus išaugo iki 2,6 karto iki taršos mokesčio įvedimo 2020 metų liepos mėnesio pirmąją dieną. Pagrindiniai žodžiai: aplinkosauga, klimatas, deginių emisija, taršos mažinimas, mokestis.
ENResearch problem. What is the negative impact of polluting cars on the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and renovation of the old car fleet. Research aim – to analyze the change of polluting cars after the introduction of the pollution tax in Lithuania. Research methods. The survey of passenger cars is carried out on the basis of data collected by the portal of the Department of Statistics. The method of data analysis was used. The study was carried out with the data of the analysis of the change in the number of new diesel and petrol cars registered in the country for the first time in the period of one year, before and after the introduction of the pollution tax. All results are presented graphically. Key results and conclusions. It was established that the introduction of the pollution tax in Lithuania influenced the choice of the majority of drivers to replace the old polluting car with a less polluting and more environmentally friendly one. The transport sector accounts for almost 30%. of the European Union's total CO2 emissions, and 72% of this is CO2 emissions from roads. The most important indicator for reviewing environmental requirements for vehicles is carbon dioxide emissions, which must not exceed 130 grams per kilometer. Comparing diesel-powered cars with gasoline-powered ones, their number has risen to 2.6 times before the introduction of the pollution tax on the first day of July 2020. Keywords: environment, climate, emissions, pollution reduction, tax.
