DBpedia resource is: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Handbook_Emission_Factors_for_Road_Transport_(HBEFA)

Abstract is: Handbook Emission Factors for Road Transport (HBEFA) is a Microsoft Access database application providing emission factors, i.e. the specific emissions in g/km, for all current road vehicle categories (passenger cars, light duty vehicles, heavy duty vehicles, buses, and motorcycles). Emission factors are provided for all regulated and the most important non-regulated air pollutants as well as for fuel consumption and CO2. HBEFA is used to estimate road transport emissions on different spatial aggregation levels from national to street level. HBEFA was originally developed on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agencies of Germany (UBA), Switzerland (FOEN/BAFU), and Austria (Umweltbundesamt). In the meantime, further countries (Sweden, Norway, France) and the JRC (Joint Research Centre of the European Commission) are supporting HBEFA. The handbook is developed and provided by INFRAS, a Swiss research institute and independent consulting group based in Zurich and Bern. HBEFA (the so-called “public version”) is available for download for everyone (chargeable at a fee of 250 EUR for new users). This public version allows users to view emission factors at different disaggregation levels. For selected experts participating in the development of HBEFA an extended version with additional features (referred to as “expert version”) is available.
