In coming months, the plan notes, the Department of Transportation will work with other agencies to further explore strategies for integrating alternative fuel vessels into the US flag fleet. Preparing the US for the impacts of climatechange. Preparing the US for the impacts of climatechange.
EU climate policy aims to limit the global mean temperature increase from anthropogenic climatechange to below 2 °C. They estimated the number of new vehicles required and the adoption of new technologies and fuels based on their availability and cost effectiveness under projected scenario variables such as fuel price.
This should result in a fleet of vehicles with a much better energy efficiency using different low- carbon fuels for different applications, whatever the most cost-effective combination is. The EU must push member states to align taxation levels of different fuels and vehicle types and stop indirect subsidies. June 2013).
The policy package includes a new fuel economy readiness index, which measures the extent to which countries have implemented steps that will fully exploit the potential of existing fuel economy technologies and maximise their use in vehicles. Policy package.
Car fleet composition in the EU under the different scenarios. The obvious one is increased fueltaxes, but somehow governments need to make sure the benefits of better technology aren’t wiped out by increased demand for lower-priced fuel. Click to enlarge. Jos Dings, T&E Director.
Meanwhile, significant gains in vehicle fuel economy over the coming decades are possible and very much needed globally in order to address pressing issues of climatechange, energy security and sustainable mobility. The global vehicle fleet is predicted to double by 2050 with 80% of that growth in the developing world.
per gallon fueltax 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 fleetfuel efficiency. Tags: ClimateChange Emissions Policy.

In other words, the automakers still have to meet the fleet-based emissions requirements through their sales mix. Its goal was and is to reduce the environmental impact of light-duty vehicles through the gradual introduction of ZEVs into the California fleet. ARB first adopted the ZEV Regulation in 1990.
Most automotive manufacturers say they plan to use renewable energy in the future, but for now, most battery production relies on electric grids largely powered by fossil fuels. Can EVs be good enough—and can manufacturers roll them out fast enough—to meet the goals set in 2021 by the 26th United Nations ClimateChange Conference (COP26)?
Achieving our overall goal—reducing fleetfuel and energy consumption and GHGs by three-quarters or more—will be extremely challenging. Average on-road fuel consumptions (tank to wheels) of the different propulsion systems in an average light-duty vehicle: 2010, 2030, and 2050. —John Heywood.
