Auteurs : Mebarkia Kamel . Saadallah Omar .

Résumé

This study examines the environmental effects of Algeria’s transport sector, focusing on road transport as the dominant mode of mobility and energy use. Using a descriptive-analytical approach and official national and international data, it evaluates emissions, energy consumption, fleet composition, and policy effectiveness. The findings show that transport remains a major source of carbon emissions and air pollution because of fleet growth, ageing vehicles, road dependence, and fossil-fuel use. Despite limited improvement in emissions per vehicle, total emissions continue to rise. The study recommends fleet renewal, stricter standards, cleaner energy, and stronger monitoring to support Algeria’s environmental sustainability goals.
