The California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced that greenhouse gas emissions in California in 2016 fell below 1990 levels for the first time since emissions peaked in 2004—a reduction roughly equivalent to taking 12 million cars off the road or saving 6 billion gallons of gasoline a year.

Vehicles must meet strict emission standards to drive in the ULEZ area: Euro 4 for gasoline cars and vans (widely available since 2006). Euro 6 for diesel cars and vans (widely available since 2016). The ULEZ has already helped to reduce roadside pollution levels by 44% in central London and 20% in inner London.

CARB developed the program to help support a return to 1990 levels of climate-changing gases by 2020, as required by AB 32, the 2006 landmark climate bill. California reached that overall goal in 2016. Those clean fuels also reduced emissions of toxic pollutants as well as those that cause smog.

A growing number of studies on the effects of biofuel production on domestic and international fuel markets have concluded that biofuel production results in only a partial displacement of gasoline on an energy-equivalent basis—thereby increasing global energy use. gallons, selected a conservative gasoline displacement rate of 0.50

Hyundai Motor is introducing a hydrogen fuel cell concept version of its H350 light commercial van at the 2016 IAA Commercial Vehicle Show in Hannover. The powertrain study shows the potential for the company’s advanced hydrogen fuel cell technology in the light commercial vehicle (LCV) segment. Depending on wheelbase, the H350 provides 10.5

Transportation sector gasoline demand declines. Continued fuel economy improvement in vehicles using other alternative fuels, gasoline, and diesel, combined with growth in the use of hybrid technologies (including micro, mild, full, and plug-in hybrid vehicles), limit the use of electric vehicles over the projection.

A team from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) has characterized the intermediate volatility organic compound (IVOC) emissions from on-road gasoline vehicles (LDGVs) and small off-road gasoline engines (SOREs). All LDGVs were tested using commercial summertime California gasoline and the cold-start united cycle.
