The combined fleet fuel economy for new cars and trucks with a GVWR of 10,000 pounds (4,500 kg) or less was projected to average 35.5 miles per gallon (mpg) for the 2016 model year based on the newly-established targets and projected fleet mix.
A European study of nearly 2000 participants showed that an average person cycling 1 trip/day more and driving 1 trip/day less for 200 days a year would decrease mobility-related lifecycle CO 2 emissions by about 0.5 tonnes over a year, representing a substantial share of average per capita CO 2 emissions from transport (which are about 1.5 to ...
By 2027, CO2 emissions must drop about 50% to 170 grams of CO2 per mile on average. CO2 emissions from vehicles have led to the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, trapping heat ...
[7] 2019 model year cars (ex. EVs) classified as "midsize" by the US EPA ranged from 12 to 56 mpg US (20 to 4.2 L/100 km) [8] However, due to environmental concerns caused by CO 2 emissions, new EU regulations are being introduced to reduce the average emissions of cars sold beginning in 2012, to 130 g/km of CO 2, equivalent to 4.5 L/100 km (52 ...
Turning to climate change, it matters whether electric cars emit less carbon than conventional vehicles, and how much less. In New Zealand, 82% of energy for electricity generation came from ...
A 2011 UK study estimates 90 deaths per year due to passenger vehicle PM. [31] In a 2006 publication, the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) state that in 2002 about 1 per-cent of all PM 10 and 2 per-cent of all PM 2.5 emissions came from the exhaust of on-road motor vehicles (mostly from diesel engines).
