Also, the list of standard test procedures addressed in SAE J1711 has been expanded to cover all five major test cycle procedures (UDDS, HFEDS, US06, SC03, and Cold FTP) now being used to evaluate vehicle fuel economy. The standard does not specify which emissions constituents to measure (e.g., Earlier post.)

BMW has been able to deliver significant improvements in its fleet CO 2 emissions over the past few years. According to statistics compiled by the German Motor Vehicle Registration Authority cited by BMW, the average fuel consumption of all BMW and MINI vehicles registered in Germany in 2008 is 5.9 EfficientDynamics.

A new study quantifying emissions from a fleet of gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines and port fuel injection (PFI) engines finds that the measured decrease in CO 2 emissions from GDIs is much greater than the potential climate forcing associated with higher black carbon emissions from GDI engines.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. Since it can operate on 100% biofuel, it is the means for achieving new goals recently set for reducing the use of fossil fuels and cutting the net emission of CO 2 to zero.
