GM has made three product commitments for 2017 related to its sustainability strategy: to have 500,000 vehicles on the road in the US with some form of electrification ( earlier post ); to double the number of US models that can achieve an EPA-estimated 40 mpg US (5.9 Earlier post.).
The proposed CAFE standards are projected to require, on an average industry fleet-wide basis for cars and trucks combined, 40.1 mpg US (5.87 mpg by 2016 and result in an average light vehicle tailpipe CO 2 level of 250 grams per mile. mpg in MY 2021. mpg in model year 2025.

Tripling US new light-duty vehicle fleet fuel efficiency by 2035 through evolutionary change—e.g., L/100km) by 2025 and 74 mpg (3.18 L/100km) and 60 mpg (3.92
Honda has set a new Guinness World Records title for “Lowest fuel consumption – all 24 contiguous EU countries (all cars)”, recording an average 83 mpg US (2.82 l/100 km) over 8,387 miles (13,498 km), in a 25-day drive across all 24 EU contiguous countries.

Utilizing technologies such as turbocharging, direct injection, twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) and six-speed transmissions, the upgraded powertrain portfolio will deliver more than 20% in fuel economy improvement to Ford’s passenger vehicle fleet in China by 2015 while reducing tailpipe carbon dioxide emissions by 20%.
This year, the company will release between 30 to 50 fleet trials, Ashton told Green Car Congress , using the 2012 system. XLH engineers have already designed the next-generation release, in which the battery pack is downsized to 1.5 OEMs can get higher mpg improvements by using different architectures. —Justin Ashton.
The new model gets gasoline equivalent fuel efficiency of 31 kilometers per liter (73 mpg US), a 15% improvement over the previous version. Next year, 48 Tucson ix FCEVs will be part of a Domestic Fleet Program supported by the Korean government. 73 mpg US, 3.23 27 km/L (64 mpg US, 3.7 Earlier post.). Hydrogen storage.

In developing the proposed preferred alternative for the rulemaking, NHTSA also projected technology penetration and associated costs for the vehicle fleet.

Nearly half the respondents say the greatest change in materials will be in powertrain systems, noting that advanced propulsion systems—from downsized engines to hybrid and electric vehicle systems and batteries—will drive new material requirements. L/100 km) was negotiated to 54.5
The downsized hybrid system combines a 1.5-liter l/100 km (67 mpg US) and CO 2 emissions of 79 g/km, while allowing customers frequent electric driving mode. l/100 km (65 mpg US), with 84 g/km CO 2. Wagon body-style variants currently represent 25% of the C-segment market, with 75% of those sales attributed to the fleet market.
The new Yaris Hybrid, which is equipped with a version of the downsized hybrid powertrain featured in the Prius c/Aqua ( earlier post ), is a major step in the company’s full hybrid European roll-out strategy. The Yaris is Toyota’s best-selling core model in Europe, with the largest Unit in Operation fleet on European roads.
The federal government is pushing their fleet-procurement decisions almost completely to EVs and hybrids irrespective of costs. The quickest and most cost-effective way to achieve our energy usage goals is through faster adoption of fuel-efficient downsized gasoline and diesel engines. They determined that only 3.9
Plug-in hybrids dominate market penetration in 2025 under CAR scenario IV (62 mpg CAFE standard). CAR did not assume any downsizing of the vehicle sales fleet or significant reduction in performance by vehicles in any segment as a means for increasing fuel economy standards by 2025. The 47 mpg target is equivalent to a 70.9%
You may recall a few weeks back we reported on police forces all around the nation downsizing their vehicle fleets from big and brawny V-8 sedans to a new-generation of V-6 sedans and SUVs.

In response, MECA (Manufacturers of Emission Controls Association), commented : Suppliers of emission control and efficiency technologies will continue to innovate and introduce new advancements to further improve fuel efficiency while continuing to lower tailpipe emissions across the light-duty vehicle fleet.
This enables a zero-emissions range of up to 224 miles (360 km) on a single charge, with an energy consumption of 25 mpg diesel-equivalent, which provides significant cost reductions. liter engine is downsized by about 50% in terms of displacement and can achieve up to 10 mpg, significantly lowering the carbon footprint.
Using aluminum will extend the efficiencies of other technologies, while enabling secondary cost-savings from downsized powertrains without sacrificing performance. A material mix shift is necessary to achieve a 10% weight reduction for light vehicles and 51 mpg US. Twenty percent of all bumpers in 2012 will be aluminum.
In addition, the report found, evidence suggests that the standards will lead the nation’s light-duty vehicle fleet to become lighter but not less safe. to 41 mpg by 2021 and 48.7 mpg by 2025. These standards will require the US new vehicle fleet to double in fuel economy between 2012 and 2025. Background.

The GFEI wants to see global new car fuel consumption cut by 50% by 2030 compared to 2005 levels, and the same cut across the whole fleet by 2050. l/100 km (32.7
The upside of gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines is widely seen as being improved fuel economy coupled with an increase in specific power (especially with turbocharging), enabling significant downsizing. mpg (10.99 l/100 km)—the average fuel economy of the in-use United States light-duty fleet in 2014.
Dedicated ethanol (or E85) engines have the promise to improve efficiency substantially over comparable regular gasoline engines through direct-injection, increased geometric CR, variable valve timing, exhaust gas recirculation, aggressive turbocharging, and downsizing and/or downspeeding.
Running on 91 octane, the EPA rates the ADX AWD at 25 mpg city/30 highway/27 combined. In 131 miles we averaged 32 mpg with pretty aggressive driving from sea level in Encinitas, California, at the Alila Marea Beach Resort to Santa Ysabel , at about 3,947 feet in the Laguna Mountains. Your numbers may differ.

Available all-wheel drive, its ratings of up to 51 mpg combined, and a comfortable, spacious interior make it one of the most appealing Camry sedans yet. The plug-in series hybrids would have used dramatically downsized engines—a turbo-2 for the EQS—while halving the EV battery pack.
The CAFE program promised to double fuel economy by 2025 , but from 2012 to 2019, the real-world MPG of new vehicles improved just 7% , and annual gasoline consumption increased from 3.2 MPG as 14 out of 20 automakers failed to meet their standards. billion barrels.
