The document discusses lessons learned from the US EPA's experience in establishing vehicle emissions and fuel efficiency standards. It outlines a three-point strategy used in the US to reduce emissions from vehicles through clean vehicles standards, clean fuels, and clean transportation alternatives. The document also provides an overview of US greenhouse gas vehicle standards and fuel economy standards for light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles.

Ricardo low carbon vehicle partnership life cycle co2 measure - final reportUCSD-Strategic-Energy
A Ricardo study released in June highlighted the increasing importance of accounting for whole life carbon emissions to compare the GHG of low carbon vehicles. Ricardo found that a typical medium sized family car will create around 24 tonnes of CO2 during its life cycle, while a battery electric vehicle (BEV) will produce around 18 tonnes over its life. For a battery EV, 46% of its total carbon footprint is generated at the factory, before it has travelled a single mile. If the charging source is renewable energy, i.e., “Tailpipe Endgame” rather than 500g/kWH that Ricardo assumed, then the battery EV would have a life cycle C02 footprint only 37% that of a standard gasoline vehicle. The report was prepared by Ricardo for, and in collaboration with, the expert membership of the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership that includes major vehicle manufacturers and oil companies, and it will be a strong baseline along with other analyses for all present and future funded efforts to document the environmental benefits of renewable energy charging of BEVs.

Global Trends in Passenger Vehicle Fuel Economy Standards Drew Kodjak, Execut...FIA Foundation
"Nine (9) countries have adopted some form of fuel economy
standards with other countries with complementary policies
(e.g., feebates, labeling).
Three-quarters (75%) of the world’s fleet is currently under
some form of fuel economy standards
The longest lead time for any standards is now set at 2025
Europe and Japan are home to world’s most efficient fleets,
but the gap is narrowing
The pace of vehicle efficiency technology development is
accelerating (e.g., 6 speed transmissions, downsized
turbocharged engines, better tires, hybrids).
Consumer acceptance is widespread given the relatively
short payback period from 2 to 5 years.
Thus we find that to meet the GFEI goal of doubling new
passenger vehicle fuel economy by 2030, we will need all
countries to adopt some form of fuel economy standards."

Presented at the Global Fuel Economy Initiative ‘Accelerator Symposium’ on September 5th, ahead of the September 2014 UN Climate Summit.
The Symposium hosted by the French Government at the Ministry of Ecology Sustainable Development and Energy on 5th September, provided a forum for countries, experts, NGOs and the private sector to advance the agenda on fuel economy globally and prepare for the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon’s Climate Summit.
Government representatives from a wide range of countries working on fuel economy policies participated in the Symposium. Countries presenting at the Symposium included China, Georgia Kenya and Mauritius. There were more than 70 delegates attending the symposium from around the world with countries represented including Chile, Costa Rica, Hungary, Ivory Coast, Kosovo, Peru, Sri Lanka, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the UAE, Uganda and Vietnam. Organisations included Transport & Environment, the FIA, ExxonMobil, Michelin, Renault, CEDARE, the OECD and the World Bank.

2. Lessons Learned from
U.S. EPA Experience
• Using a systems approach produces best results
– Low sulfur fuel needed for advanced vehicle technologies & complete optimization.
– Vehicle performance-based standards achieve the most cost-effective conventional and GHG
emissions reductions.
– Phased approaches achieve early reductions and long-term reductions
• Our regulatory programs designed to promote innovation – well-formulated standards can be
“win-win” for the economy and the environment.
• Voluntary Partnerships
– Collaboration with stakeholders (industry, provincial governments, civil organizations) is critical to
successful win-win policy.
• Strong Compliance
– A robust compliance regime is critical to achieving real-world benefits.
• Also, Regulatory flexibilities and voluntary partnerships play important roles in reducing
emissions and fuel consumption.
– Equitably reward technology leaders and early technology adopters.

3. Three Point Strategy to Reduce
Vehicle Emissions (GHGs & Air Quality)
1. Clean Vehicles - Develop technology-forcing performance
standards for cars, buses, trucks, and nonroad engines, such as
construction equipment, boats, lawn and garden equipment, and
locomotives
2. Clean Fuels - Develop reformulated gasoline, diesel fuel, and
nonpetroleum alternatives. Use of low sulfur fuels is critical to
enable advanced vehicle technology as well as for the direct
emissions benefits
3. Clean Transportation Alternatives - Develop strategies to
encourage efficient transportation alternatives.

7. Overview
• U.S. EPA and U.S. Department of Transportation
work together to implement a strong coordinated
national program of GHG vehicle standards and fuel
consumption standards for:
– Light Duty Vehicles (passenger vehicles)
• Finalized standards for Model Years 2012-2016
• Finalized standards for Model Years 2017-2025
– Heavy Duty Vehicles (commercial trucks & buses)
• Finalized standards for Model Years 2014-2018
• Stage 2 standards under development.
• Programs reduce GHG emissions, improve national
security, improve air quality, and provide significant
life time cost savings to vehicle owners. 7
8. Heavy-Duty Vehicle GHG Standards
• In 2011, U.S. finalized its first Heavy-Duty (HD) Vehicle GHG & Fuel Efficiency
Standards. (“Phase 1”)
– Rule was issued jointly by EPA and Department of Transportation.
– Will address fuel consumption and reductions in CO2 and other greenhouse gases
– Focus on achieving reductions that improved engine performance, aerodynamics and tires.
• Our SmartWay program served as a strong support for rule’s framework.
• Benefits: reduce oil imports, fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and operating
costs. Over the life of 2014-18 MY trucks:
– 530 million barrels less oil
– 270 MMT reductions in GHGs
– $50 Billion in fuel savings
• Single coordinated National Program helps manufacturers to produce a single
fleet of vehicles to meet related National and State requirements.
– The standards have broad support from major stakeholders
• A second phase of HD GHG standards is under development.
8
9. Phase 1 Structure
• Program divides a diverse medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicle sector
into 3 regulatory categories:
1. Combination Tractors
2. HD pickups and vans (PUVs)
3. Vocational vehicles (other trucks, buses, ambulances, etc. )
• Separate vehicle and engine standards
• Engines are certified separately and truck compliance determined using
a computer simulation model.
• Flexibilities
– We allow generating emissions credits for averaging, banking, and trading.
– Provides incentives for early certification and advanced and innovative
technologies.
9
10. Looking forward to HD GHG “Phase 2” Rule
• HD GHG Phase 2 will focus on energy security and environmental
goals without restricting the industry’s ability to produce a diverse range
of vehicles serving a wide range of needs.
• HD GHG Phase 2 will be based on collaborative outreach with
stakeholders.
• Will consider advanced technologies such as hybrid drivetrains, waste
heat recovery, and full electric vehicles to set stringencies.
• We look forward to continued discussions with MIIT on data sharing,
and harmonization of testing procedures and vehicle model simulation.
10
11. Additional Insights
• Technology verification – Need for a credible, neutral, third-party to test
and verify the performance of technologies.
– Low rolling resistant tires
– Aerodynamic devices
– Idle reduction technologies
– Retrofit devices
• Fuel Quality – Low sulfur enables a new generation of modern pollution
control technologies for trucks.
• Compliance – Strong fuel and engine standards achieve little without
strong compliance.
• Collaboration – We look forward to future collaboration in these areas.
