Increasingly efficient conventional combustion-engine vehicles will be key in moving towards a low carbon future, according to the GFEI. Far better fuel economy from cost-effective conventional technologies can keep fuel demand steady and save close to half the CO 2 emissions from cars by this date.

The researchers found that focusing on the behavioral aspects of consumers in vehicle purchase decisions is key to encouraging the rapid uptake of plug-in hybrid vehicles, battery-electric vehicles, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. However, carbon taxes can be critical in pushing electricity providers to decarbonize their operations.

It also reviews policies and implications that could affect future market growth. A newly released analysis produced by Beacon Economics for the nonprofit, nonpartisan think-tank Next 10 has found that California’s zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) market is on track to meet or exceed a target of 1.5 million ZEVs on California’s roads by 2025.

The steady tightening of standards will first incentivize combustion efficiency and in parallel speed up the deployment of new low-carbon technologies and fuels, such as vehicles running on low-carbon electricity, hydrogen, compressed natural gas or sustainable biofuels. Credibility requires beginning to implement policies now—i.e.
