Ford researchers: global light-duty CO2 regulatory targets broadly consistent with 450 ppm stabilization

Green Car Congress

They refer to these emission trajectories as the global CO 2 caps. Holding vehicle efficiencies, powertrain shares and fuel characteristics constant at 2010 levels, they then considered the effect of only vehicle actions. Similarly, with the addition of fuel actions, the OECD Europe glide paths are relaxed from 4.5-5%
