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.
