The goal of this paper is to assess the resulting CO 2 emissions, energy, and economic impacts of the EU CO 2 mandates, and compare them to an alternative scenario where vehicle emissions are part of an emission trading system designed to meet Europe’s announced economy-wide targets.

CO 2 emissions from transportation sector by scenario in the study. The economy-wide CO 2 prices applied increase the cost of driving only marginally with respect to the business-as-usual case. Fuel prices above $8/gallon may be needed to significantly reduce US GHG emissions and oil imports. Source: Morrow et al.

Strong economy-wide pricing measures (such as a $5.00 per gallon fuel tax by 2050) could result in an additional reduction of 28% in GHG emissions. The Moving Cooler baseline extrapolated these projections further to 2050, resulting in a potential doubling or greater of fleet fuel efficiency. Land use and smart growth.

More research, development, and demonstration studies are needed to lay the foundation for such a long-term transformation. There are many options available for reducing the fuel, energy, and GHG emissions impacts of LDVs. miles per gallon will not reflect what most new car buyers should expect to achieve in 2025.
