Moving goods by road consumes about 50% of all diesel produced; 80% of the global net increase in diesel use since 2000 comes from road freight. The timing and exact configuration of road freight decarbonization pathways should be adjusted to the different geographies and economies of each region around the world.

With the addition of the top-of-the-line Calligraphy trim model, Hyundai also gave the 2021 Santa Fe more power, two new engines and improved fuel economy. A “dry” DCT does not use oil, but is the more fuel efficient of the two types. The EPA has rated the fuel economy at 21 mpg city/28 highway/24 combined.

There are many options available for reducing the fuel, energy, and GHG emissions impacts of LDVs. Achieving our overall goal—reducing fleet fuel and energy consumption and GHGs by three-quarters or more—will be extremely challenging. Includes vehicle weight reduction: at constant acceleration capability.
