JANUARY 18, 2010

European automakers are striving to comply with EU CO 2 norms (average fleet emissions less than 130 g/km by 2015) to avoid penalties. (As Eco-innovations will count for up to 7 grams of manufacturers’ fleet targets. Provisions for niche manufacturers (10,000 to 300,000 units) to achieve fleet average reduction of 25%.

Future RDE emissions legislation and fleet average CO 2 targets represent a challenge for automakers wishing to provide cost-effective light duty diesel vehicles. The cost comparison is with respect to a Euro 5 baseline. The SIA conference was focused on clean compression-ignition engines of the future. liter diesel engine.

Comparison of Emission Standards (g/mi). . Many improvements in fleet fuel economy in Europe have been achieved through increased diesel market share, with the diesel market share in Europe now above 50%. We see dramatic downsizing and boosting [as] something that’s going to for gasoline engines especially. John Kirwan.

Our analysis shows that a CO 2 target of 70 g/km for 2025, on average for the entire new car fleet, can be achieved with either no or only modest levels electric vehicle penetration. These individual class curves are then sales weighted to estimate fleet average compliance costs for a range of potential CO 2 standards.
