Transport GHG emissions in the “No New Policies” case (NNP) and the “Lowest” case (L). As deeper cuts are likely to be made in other sectors, this requires a cut of at least 60% in transportation GHG emissions, most notably CO 2 , by midcentury. They then estimated emissions based on fleet composition. Credit: ACS, Dray et al.

Sivak found that while the vehicle fuel economy of the entire light-duty fleet improved by 40% (from 13 mpg US to 21.6 l/100km), because of the decrease in vehicle load, the occupant fuel economy only improved by 17% (from 24.8 Combining these two effects yields a reduction of about 14% in the amount of fuel used.

Moving to a permanent weight system with weight bands will greatly simplify this process.
