Decarbonizing road transport by 2050: Effective policies to accelerate the transition to zero-emission vehicles
Examines policies aiming to accelerate the transition to zero-emission vehicles in the largest and leading markets and draws out implications for future action based on technology, market, and policy trends.
International competitiveness and the auto industry: What's the role of motor vehicle emission standards?
Reviews the political science, regulatory, and economics literature to illuminate the international competitiveness impacts of motor vehicle emission standards.
Impacts of world class vehicle efficiency and emissions regulations in select G20 countries
Characterizes the climate and health benefits of adopting world-class standards for new vehicle efficiency/CO2 and conventional pollutant emissions in all members of the G20 Transport Task Group.
A global strategy to introduce low-sulfur fuels and cleaner diesel vehicles
Presents a global strategy to reduce fine particulate (PM2.5) and black carbon emissions from the global fleet of on-road diesel vehicles by identifying 36 countries for immediate action.
Policies to reduce fuel consumption, air pollution, and carbon emissions from vehicles in G20 nations
Reviews current policies, summarizes information on technology and costs, emissions reductions, and benefit-cost ratios, and outlines policy options aimed in particular at HDV tailpipe emissions and fuel efficiency.
The regulatory engine: How smart policy drives vehicle innovation
Regulations to reduce GHG emissions are driving a flood of investment in industries and innovative technologies that fuel economic growth while attacking the global problem of inefficient use of expensive, polluting oil.
A model regulatory program for reducing exhaust and evaporative emissions from heavy-duty vehicles and engines
Distills best practices in heavy-duty emissions controls from the EU, U.S., and Japan into a single regulatory program suitable for adoption by interested countries.
Passenger Vehicle Greenhouse Gas and Fuel Economy Standards
Compares passenger vehicle greenhouse gas and fuel economy standards from eight major countries, states, and regions. It finds that Japan and Europe are closely tied in the “race to the top” for the world’s most efficient new passenger vehicle fleet, while the United States lags behind these two regions by a large margin.
Air Pollution and GHG Emissions from Oceangoing Ships
Identifites options for regulating emissions from ships, one of the world’s largest and fastest growing sources of air pollution. The regulation of commercial marine vessels represents a significant political and legal challenge, as ships operate largely outside of national boundaries and are typically owned and operated by companies based in a number of different countries.
