Assessment of Technologies for Improving Fuel Economy of Light-Duty Vehicles – Phase 2

Completed

Written to inform The United States Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic and Safety Adnminstration (NHTSA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) and greenhouse gas emission (GHG) standards, this report is a technical evaluation of costs, benefits, and implementation issues of fuel reduction technologies for next-generation light-duty vehicles. It estimates the cost, potential efficiency improvements, and barriers to commercial deployment of technologies that might be employed from 2020 to 2030. This report describes these promising technologies and makes recommendations for their inclusion on the list of technologies applicable for the 2017-2025 CAFE standards.
