Life-cycle thinking is critical to fair and accurate vehicle comparisons, especially when vehicles are powered by different fuel sources, ASG says. Diesel fuel, for example, has higher energy content per gallon than gasoline, but due to the higher density of diesel, it also releases higher CO 2 -e emissions per gallon combusted.

A colour-coded car fuel economy label as used for new cars has been adapted for the sale of used cars, making it easier for consumers to access fuel efficiency data of potential purchases. The initiative builds on the success of the new car fuel economy label, which is now widely recognised by consumers.

The European Commission today proposed targets for the further reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from new cars and light commercial vehicles (vans) by 2020. The proposals will cut average emissions from new cars to 95 grams of CO 2 per km (g CO 2 /km) in 2020 from 135.7 Europe and the US. Earlier post.). Earlier post.)

In a first-ever technology pairing, Honda has mated plug-in battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric in the all-new 2025 CR-V e:FCEV. This breaks the norm of a fuel cell vehicle run solely on hydrogen. The by-product is water vapor that harmlessly drips from the tailpipe, making the e:FCEV a zero-emission vehicle.
