Global Fuel Economy Initiative Releases Roadmap Report on Achieving 50% Fuel Economy Improvement in LDV Fleet by 2050

Green Car Congress

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has estimated that fuel consumption and emissions of CO 2 from the world’s cars will roughly double between 2000 and 2050. Their share will fall to just under 40% by 2050, with aviation set to grow to match road freight at around 22% of fuel consumption and emissions each. Fuel taxes.

It also reviews policies and implications that could affect future market growth. However, California is lagging behind when it comes to ensuring its charging infrastructure keeps up with the growth of its electric vehicle fleet, the report finds. As of October 2017, 337,483 ZEVs have been sold in California. ZEV sales increased 29.1%

The EU has also made a commitment to reduce emissions in sectors outside the EU ETS, including transportation, by 10% on year-2005 levels by 2020. Existing fleet and vehicle withdrawal were estimated using fleet data by vehicle location and age, and vehicle age-dependent retirement curves.

The index is built from the four key policies needed to improve fuel economy: fuel tax, CO 2 -based vehicle tax, fuel economy standards and labeling. Important complementary policies include fuel economy labeling, fuel economy or CO2-adjusted vehicle tax systems (such as “feebates”), and fuel taxes.

CEPS task force report identifies tightening emissions standards as key policy to hit EU 60% reduction in transport GHG; full life-cycle emissions optimal metric

Green Car Congress

As the standards’ stringency increases, so does the need for an effective combination of both fuel and vehicle standards, based on well-to- wheel emissions. Setting clear standards for vehicle efficiency and fuels allow manufacturers of cars and other vehicles to anticipate the direction of future standards.

In other words, the automakers still have to meet the fleet-based emissions requirements through their sales mix. Its goal was and is to reduce the environmental impact of light-duty vehicles through the gradual introduction of ZEVs into the California fleet. ARB first adopted the ZEV Regulation in 1990. Minimum ZEV credit requirement.

In coming months, the plan notes, the Department of Transportation will work with other agencies to further explore strategies for integrating alternative fuel vessels into the US flag fleet. The Better Buildings Challenge targets helping American commercial and industrial buildings becoming at least 20% more energy efficient by 2020.
