Electrification will also reduce oil dependence, providing foreign policy benefits and the potential to reduce real oil prices and oil price volatility. Technology advocates generally favor rapid, direct intervention to overcome the technical, cost, infrastructure, and consumer acceptance barriers.

The oil price shocks of the 1970s led the Brazilian government to address the strain high prices were placing on its fragile economy. Brazil, the largest and most populous country in South America, was importing 80% of its oil and 40% of its foreign exchange was used to pay for that imported oil. by Brian J.

As we continue the transition from a mechanical to more electronically controlled vehicles, the required engineering processes, skills and tools need to adapt accordingly. That is why many OEMs are beginning to rebuild their internal electronics and system engineering capabilities after many years of outsourcing.

There is significant headroom for DOE to work on increasing conventional vehicle efficiency by improving the internal combustion engine, by lightweighting, and by improving the aerodynamics of heavy-duty vehicles. The QTR notes that improving vehicle efficiency is the most effective short-term route to reducing liquid fuel consumption.
