The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Department of Transportation (DOT) formally unveiled their joint proposal to set stronger fuel economy and greenhouse gas pollution standards for Model Year 2017-2025 passenger cars and light trucks. PHEVs would start at a multiplier value of 1.6 through 2021. in MY 2021.
The ultimate goal, he says, is to exploit fully existing propulsion technologies in terms of fuel economy and pollutant emissions. The objective of this project is to use the control algorithms to operate a PHEV at an instantaneous equilibrium operating point, assuring maximization of the efficiency of the PHEV at each instant of time.
The proposal retains the proven regulatory design of previous EPA standards for light-duty vehicles, but leverages advances in clean car technology to further reduce both climate pollution and smog- and soot-forming emissions. Together, the proposals would reduce oil imports by approximately 20 billion barrels.
