This would result in an average fuel economy for passenger cars of 43.7 mpg projected overall industry average required fuel economy in MYs 2021-2026, compared to 46.7 2-3% increase in daily fuel consumption—about 0.5 mpg and for light trucks of 31.3 billion reduction in regulatory costs through MY 2029.

Trucks represent the fastest growing source of global oil demand. They account for 40% of the expected increase in oil demand to 2050 and 15% of the increase in global CO 2 emissions. Trucks will even surpass passenger cars as the major oil consumers. It is critical that these standards include heavy freight trucks.

“Improve” policies can reduce energy consumption and emissions of all travel modes through the introduction of efficient fuels and vehicles. Improve” policies include tightened fuel-economy standards and increased advanced-vehicle technology sales (e.g. clean diesel trucks and hybrid and plug-in electric cars).

The oil price shocks of the 1970s led the Brazilian government to address the strain high prices were placing on its fragile economy. Brazil, the largest and most populous country in South America, was importing 80% of its oil and 40% of its foreign exchange was used to pay for that imported oil.

Production of renewable fuels has been growing rapidly in recent years, while at the same time, advances in vehicle fuel economy and other economic factors have pushed gasoline consumption far lower than what was expected when Congress passed the Renewable Fuel Standard in 2007. —BIO President & CEO Jim Greenwood.

The reinvigoration of the body of interrelated federal and state fuel economy and emissions regulations will have major implications for the auto industry and the environment. That has been probably the biggest hurdle—not the biggest engineering hurdle, but the biggest legal hurdle. You better have some steel. That’s huge.

Would all tests be required on all fuels? What benefit would there be for certifying a new fuel? Would there be compensation for the lower energy content of the new fuel in fuel economy calculations? What would be the regulatory effects of mis-fueling? Integrated oil companies own & operate 0.4%

To ensure that the engine takes up as little mounting space as possible, ancillary components such as the water pump, air conditioning compressor and alternator are screwed directly to the engine and the oil sump without additional brackets, and they are driven by a single-track toothed belt with a permanent tension roller.

Likewise, as in the previous engine, the oil pump is positioned next to the crankshaft, which facilitates installation in various vehicle architectures. The stepped combustion bowl has a positive effect on the combustion process, the thermal loading of critical areas of the pistons and the ingress of soot into the engine oil.

A 10% reduction in vehicle weight can result in a 6%-8% fuel economy improvement. Carbon fiber components played a large role with a CF structural oil pan saving 30%; a CF front cover with mount saving 30%; and a carbon fiber plus aluminum cam carrier saving 20%.
