The latest news from the EPA on light -
duty vehicle fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions is... complicated.
The Administration's list of measures also includes both the current light - duty and medium and heavy -
duty vehicle fuel economy standards.
This paper provides an overview of recent trends in light -
duty vehicle fuel economy around the world, new projections, and a discussion of fuel economy technology opportunities and costs over the next 30 - 50 years - all in the context of recent IEA projections of global energy use (especially oil use) and CO2 emissions.

«In addition to cutting greenhouse gas pollution, greater
fuel economy will shrink
fuel costs for small businesses that depend on pick ups and heavy

When it comes to heavy -
duty trucks (which, with a Gross
Vehicle Weight of above 8,500 pounds, the Titan legally qualifies as), the EPA inexplicably still doesn't require
fuel economy estimates, so like its circa 10,000 - pound GVW rivals, the Titan doesn't offer any.
Of the five light -
duty vehicle types, cars have the highest average adjusted
fuel economy of 28.3 mpg (8.3 l / 100 km), followed by car SUVs at 24.5 mpg (9.6 l / 100 km).

vehicles like the Challenger Hellcat and Jeep Cherokee SUV that are taking the market by storm.
The C - Max Hybrid is a conventional parallel hybrid, with gasoline and electric power sources sharing propulsion
duties, and is targeted to deliver better
fuel economy than the current Fusion Hybrid — which, at 41 mpg combined, is already the most
fuel - efficient sedan sold in the U.S.. It's also said to operate in electric - only mode beyond 47 mph; and the
vehicle's Powersplit controller is an evolution of what's currently used in the Fusion.
The term «full size» comes from the fact that these are the largest trucks classified as «light
duty vehicles» by the EPA, meaning they're governed by the same
fuel -
economy rules as cars.

• Commits to partnering with industry and stakeholders to develop
fuel economy standards for heavy -
duty vehicles to save families money at the pump and further reduce reliance on foreign oil and
fuel consumption post-2018; and
On December 1, 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) proposed light -
duty vehicle greenhouse gas emission standards and corporate average
fuel economy standards for light -
duty vehicles for model year 2017 — 2025.
For example, in the year 2040 alone, EPA's analysis estimates that American car buyers — in the absence of the farsighted rule on light -
duty trucks — will miss out on $ 104 billion in savings they could have reaped, had they paid higher sticker prices for
vehicles that would get better
fuel economy.
A combination of these with other technologies, including materials substitution, reduced aerodynamic drag, reduced rolling resistance, reduced engine friction and pumping losses, has the potential to approximately double the
fuel economy of «new» light -
duty vehicles by 2030, thereby roughly halving carbon emissions per
vehicle mile travelled (note that this is only for a new car and not the fleet average)(medium agreement, medium evidence)[5.3.1].
Democrats are committed to defending, implementing, and extending smart pollution and efficiency standards, including the Clean Power Plan,
fuel economy standards for automobiles and heavy -
duty vehicles, building codes and appliance standards.

The GHGIS model covers 2010 to 2050 and includes all sectors of the California
economy known to emit greenhouse gases, including water, waste, electricity generation, light -
duty vehicles, heavy -
duty vehicles,
fuels and buildings.
Essentially, in this time period, every existing building will either be retrofit to higher efficiency standards or replaced, 60 percent of light -
duty vehicles will use electricity, so that the average
fuel economy will be roughly 70 miles per gallon.
Dave Cooke is a senior
vehicles analyst in the Clean
Vehicles Program, specializing in both light - and heavy -
duty fuel economy.
The US Energy Information Administration's (EIA) Annual Energy Outlook 2017 (AEO2017) Reference case projects a decline in light -
duty vehicle energy use between 2018 and 2040 as improvements in
fuel economy more than offset increases in light -
duty vehicle (LDV) miles.
Consequently, the entire fleet of light -
duty vehicles would have to improve from the current on - road
fuel economy of 21.6 mpg to 44.7 mpg for driving to be as energy intensive as flying.
