Suppliers identified a wide range of conventional and electric technology that could be used to meet the standards. Hybrid technology was also viewed as important, along with variable valve timing, gasoline direct injection, and mass reduction. Overall, federal agencies project a fleet-wide fuel economy average of between 50 and 52.6

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%.

Washington, DC’s current focus is electric vehicles (EVs) and electric technology. The federal government is pushing their fleet-procurement decisions almost completely to EVs and hybrids irrespective of costs. The average additional cost for a high efficiency ICE is about $2,000, against $8,000 for an electric vehicle.

BCG comparison of the CO 2 reduction potential and cost of different technologies. As a result, BCG concludes, the electric car faces stiff competition from ICEs (internal combustion engines) and, based solely on total cost of ownership (TCO) economics, will not be the preferred option for most consumers.

However, transitioning soon to electric drive could lower manufacturers’ compliance costs by as much as €500 (US$532) per vehicle in 2025. 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.

The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. (In In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) It is much more than that.
