EPA projects advanced transmissions (6+ speeds and CVTs), gasoline direct injection (GDI) systems, and turbocharged engines will be installed on at least 15% of all MY 2013 vehicles. MY 2012 adjusted fuel economy is 23.6 l/100 km) fuel economy, which, if achieved, will again represent all-time records.

over the prior year, according to the EPA’s newly published Inventory of US Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 1990–2013. Transportation emissions increased as a result of a small increase in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and fuel use across on-road transportation modes. MMT CO 2 in 2004, and since then have declined about 13%.

Best vehicle choice for minimum fuel consumption, cost, or greenhouse gas emissions as a function of distance driven between charges across sensitivity scenarios. When charged frequently (every 20 miles or less), using average US electricity, small capacity (i.e., Shiau et al. 2009) Click to enlarge.

Making some of that waste heat energy available through intelligent heat management offers significant potential for reducing fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions, BMW said. This method of maintaining temperatures is equally suited for all kinds of vehicles and in all climate zones, although it is somewhat more effective at low temperatures.
