Automakers' Corporate Carbon Burdens (August, 2005)

The report highlights new vehicle CO2 emissions by automaker for the period 1990–2003. It also reviews the historical trend of total U.S. light vehicle carbon emissions, analyzing the on-road stock of all vehicles, both new and used, during the period 1970–2003. Based on the analysis, the conclusion on how to improve the reduction of emissions is presented.

Comparison of Passenger Vehicle Fuel Economy and GHG Emission Standards around The World (Dec.2004 / Clean Transportation Program)

Nine major regions around the world have implemented or proposed various fuel economy and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards. Yet these standards are not easily comparable, due to differences in policy approaches, test drive cycles, and units of measurement. This paper develops a methodology to compare these programs to better understand their relative stringency。

Automotive CO2 Emissions Characterization by U.S. Light-Duty Vehicle Platform (November,2004 / Clean Transportation Program)

Raising the fuel economy of automobiles to lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions affects many aspects of vehicle design. Automakers organize their production using platforms, representing shared engineering across different models. A platform level of aggregation is therefore useful when examining the opportunities for and impacts of redesign. This paper explores the CO2 emissions-related characteristics of major platforms in the U.S. market, using data for model year 2002.

Automaker Carbon Burdens in California(October,2004 / Clean Transportation Program)

The carbon burden imposed by an automaker’s sales is calculated as the product of sales volume, the fleet average CO2 emission rate of the vehicles sold, and the expected annual miles of driving over the life of the vehicles. By assembling the best available data from state, federal, and automotive trade sources, this report characterizes the carbon burdens of the California car market in model year 2002.
