PROJECT DESCRIPTION--
The goal of our work is to investigate near- to medium-term
solutions that would
curb petroleum and energy use, and greenhouse gas emissions from
light-duty vehicle fleet over the next four decades.
Our approaches emphasize the potential fleet-wide
impact of future alternative fuels and vehicle technology developments
on fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in the world's
largest automotive markets: the U.S.,
Europe, and, increasingly, China. The project also examines policy
measures that may
influence
the adoption of advanced technologies and direct their application
toward reductions in fuel consumption.
