At the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Annual Merit Review meeting in Washington, DC last week, Michael Ruth from Cummins noted that the DOE program target for the project is a fuel economy (CAFE) target of 26 mpg (9.05 l/100 km), and as such would not meet the GHG requirement of 28 mpg (8.4 Earlier post.).

However, Navigant foresees that the consumption of gasoline will slowly decrease as alternatives and diesel become more popular in light-duty vehicle (LDV) segments. Relatively modest incremental fuel economy improvements of 2 mpg to 3 mpg per vehicle can have significant impacts on global oil demand. Conventional fuels (e.g.,

Because of the shifts in the materials mix of the vehicles, the material resources requirements for manufacturing also changed. For example, the iron demand is less because the share of steel is less, while the bauxite demand increases because of the higher light alloy share. l/100 km (31 mpg US and 31.8 l/100 km (56 mpg to 58.8

The report expects aluminum to double its share of the light vehicle material mix by 2025 vs. the 2008 EPA baseline vehicle. Using aluminum will extend the efficiencies of other technologies, while enabling secondary cost-savings from downsized powertrains without sacrificing performance. kg) per year per light vehicle.
