PROJECT DESCRIPTION--

This project is part of a sustainable mobility research initiative undertaken as part of MIT’s Alliance for Global Sustainability (MIT/AGS) program. The goal of the project 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 three decades.

The objective is to model the potential fleet-wide impact of future alternative fuels and vehicle technology developments on fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions in both the U.S. and Europe. The project also examines policy measures that may influence the adoption of these technologies.
