      abstract = {In Switzerland, transportation represents 41% of CO2  emissions from energy combustion, a much higher share than  in the EU (27%) of the US (31%). Moreover, if total Swiss  CO2 emissions decreased by 11% since 1990, CO2 emissions  from transport increased by 6% over the same period. Our  projections (EPFL 2017) show that the contribution of the  transport sector would remain constant within a scenario  taking into account climate and energy policy measures  already implemented or adopted in 2016. In the EU, several  initiatives have already pointed out the necessity to limit  the use of petroleum products in transportation. The  Swedish automaker Volvo plans to stop selling cars with  traditional internal combustion engines by 2019; the French  government wants to ban sales of gas and diesel vehicles by  2040; Germany plans also to implement significant policies  to reduce the use of fossil energy in transportation. In  this paper we assess similar targets in the Swiss transport  sector. In a first section we will describe the existing  situation regarding Swiss CO2 emissions from the transport  sector. In a second section we will describe the existing  Swiss measures implemented in this sector and try to  evaluate their resulting CO2 saving since 1990 and up to  2035. The modeling of the transport sector in GEMINI-E3  will be described in section three. In this version of the  model, we represented electric cars as well as biofuel as a  substitute to fossil fuels. In a fourth section we will  present the results of the SEMP simulation with an emphasis  on the transport sector. The last section will conclude.},
