Fraunhofer ISI/ICCT analysis of PHEV data finds real-world CO2 emissions 2-4x higher than official values

Green Car Congress

A new analysis of the real-world usage of more than 100,000 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles shows a large deviation between on-road CO 2 emissions and fuel efficiency and the official vehicle type-approval values. The researchers also took into account data on company cars that had been provided by fleet managers.

Global CO2 emissions stalled for the third year in a row

Green Car Congress

The annual assessment of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by the JRC and the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) confirms that CO 2 emissions have stalled for the third year in a row. Emissions from international transport (aviation and shipping) contribute another 3% to the total global GHG emissions.

China and India Nullify Global Reduction in CO2 Emissions in 2009

Green Car Congress

Despite the continued economic crisis, global emissions of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, have remained constant in 2009 as strong increases in CO 2 emissions from fast-growing developing countries such as China and India, have completely nullified CO 2 emission reductions in the industrialized world.

ICCT analysis finds 2025 European automotive CO2 standards can be met even if diesel share drops to 15%

Green Car Congress

Diesel has played a major role in the European Union’s efforts to reduce CO 2 emissions from the automotive fleet; the market share of fuel-efficient new diesel cars in the European Union has remained above 50% since 2010. This projected shift in market share has raised some concerns over the cost of attainting CO 2 emission targets.
