Argonne releases new cradle-to-grave lifecycle analysis of US LDV vehicle-fuel pathways

Green Car Congress

This analysis builds on a previous comprehensive life cycle analysis, updating that study’s 2016 assumptions and methods. The study provides a comprehensive analysis of the cost and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of a variety of vehicle-fuel pathways; the levelized cost of driving (LCD); and the cost of avoided GHG emissions.

ExxonMobil predicts peak in light-duty vehicle liquid fuels ~2030, but ongoing role for oil in the mix

Green Car Congress

At the same time, total miles traveled per year by cars, sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and light trucks will increase about 60%, reaching about 14 trillion in 2040. As personal mobility increases, average new-car fuel economy (including SUVs and light trucks) will improve as well, rising from about 30 miles per gallon (7.83 —T.J.

California ARB Backs White House Program for Medium- and Heavy-Duty and Next Phase of Light-Duty Vehicle GHG and Fuel Economy Standards; Looking for LDV Improvements on the Order of 3-6% Annually

Green Car Congress

President Obama’s announcement of the first-ever national policy to increase fuel efficiency and decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution from medium- and heavy-duty trucks for model years 2014-2018. These new standards, however, must be followed by additional action in order to continue the impressive reductions already in place up to 2016.
