Engine downsizing and weight reduction represent around 30% of that potential collectively. Vehicle downsizing has enabled considerable efficiency improvements, particularly in OECD regions and since 2005. Natural gas is displacing coal-fired generation in some countries but this trend is highly regional.

National Research Council Study Finds That Available Technologies Can Result in Significant Fuel Savings for Passenger Vehicles Over the Next 15 Years, But at Higher Purchase Prices for Consumers

Green Car Congress

JUNE 4, 2010

Using a 2007 base vehicle, the committee estimated the potential fuel savings and costs to consumers of available technology combinations for three types of engines over that timeframe: spark-ignition gasoline, compression-ignition (CI) diesel, and hybrid. The study was sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
