NPC report to Energy Secretary finds light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles could reduce per-mile GHG at least 40% by 2050; additional strategies required for further reductions

Green Car Congress

Transportation in the United States could. The study did not identify any portfolio of fuel-vehicle systems that provides a clear and cost-effective path to lowering transportation sector GHG emissions in 2050 by 50% relative to 2005. For light-duty engines & vehicles, low-cost lightweighting (up to 30% mass replacement).
