Increasingly efficient conventional combustion-engine vehicles will be key in moving towards a low carbon future, according to the GFEI. The global vehicle fleet is predicted to double by 2050 with 80% of that growth in the developing world. However after 2030, strong growth in PEVs and other very low?carbon —GFEI working paper.

The policy package includes a new fuel economy readiness index, which measures the extent to which countries have implemented steps that will fully exploit the potential of existing fuel economy technologies and maximise their use in vehicles. Fiscal measures can have a strong influence on vehicle-purchasing behavior.
