By 2040, hybrids are expected to account for about 35% of the global light-duty vehicle fleet, up from less than 1% in 2010. billion, as the world’s population grows and more people in developing economies are able to afford cars. However, looking ahead, about 80% of the growth in the global fleet will come from non-OECD countries.

Since 2000, the carbon intensity of energy used in the two sectors has not decreased (or improved) by as much as 2 percent. The average decline in energy intensity from 2000 to 2008 was 2.0%. due to an accompanying 3% drop in the carbon intensity of the fuels used. and the largest end use sector decrease in CO 2 emissions—13.4%—due

Given the median biofuels forecast of 13 billion gallons of gasoline equivalent (GGE) in 2050, it is necessary to place a high priority on electrification of the transportation sector, if large reductions are to be attained by 2050. Maximum fleet share for PEVs appears to be limited due to two factors. Realistic case for PEVs.

The result is an 80+ mile-per-gallon vehicle — with even greater fuel economy possible utilizing bio-fuels. Such a vehicle could reduce gasoline consumption for the average American by 50 percent to 70 percent and reduce automobile emissions well in excess of emissions that might result from the additional use of power plants.

The four-door sedan will deliver 40 miles on a charge; a small gasoline engine will recharge the battery as it approaches depletion, extending its range by as much as 200 miles. GM is developing more fuel-efficient vehicles. We are addicted to the gasoline tax both at the State and Federal level. Thats short-sighted.
