The Department for Transport’s most recent forecasts of total road transport carbon dioxide emissions for England were produced as part of the road transport forecasts for 2010, 2015, and 2025. These are available in ‘Road Traffic Forecasts 2008: Results from the Department for Transport's National Transport Model’, which is available at:
