IHS Markit: GM announcement latest sign that peak gasoline demand from light vehicles has already come and gone

Green Car Congress

FEBRUARY 18, 2021

IHS Markit places the global peak for oil demand (gasoline and diesel) from LVs in 2019 when the demand averaged 29.1 Demand peaking is due to the impact of rising vehicle fuel economy and emission standards, and as time goes by, from more sales of electric vehicles. IHS Markit estimates that by 2025 light PEVs will displace about 0.9-1.1

Light-duty VMT is beginning to decouple from traditional drivers. The most recent of these In Focus articles explores the impact of demographics and behavior on light-duty vehicle (LDV) energy demand. This results in total transportation sector CO 2 emissions roughly 9% lower than in the Reference case. Source: EIA.

For this study, we wanted to shed further light on the risks of exposure to short-term air pollution by searching for links between such pollution and all diseases that are plausible causes of hospitalizations. Previous studies have shown that, when inhaled, the particles can enter deep into the lungs and cause serious health problems.
