Efficiency standards for combustion engine vehicles

In this film GFEI partner ICCT‘s Drew Kodjak explains the vital role vehicle efficiency will continue to play in getting us to our Paris targets for CO2, even as we electrify the global fleet.

ABOUT GFEI

For ten years the Global Fuel Economy Initiative (GFEI) has assisted policy makers in promoting greater fuel economy.

Using the skills and expertise of the GFEI partners - IEA, UNEP, ITF, ICCT, UC Davis and the FIA Foundation - GFEI are able to establish a baseline in each country; present policy options and case studies; and enable all stakeholders to engage in the policy process.

GFEI TIMELINE

The Global Fuel Economy Initiative (GFEI) was founded in 2009 with the purpose of promoting and supporting government action to improve energy efficiency of the global light-duty vehicle fleet.

Ever since, GFEI has highlighted how cost-effective investments to improve light-duty fuel economy lead to multiple benefits, including saving fuel, money and reducing CO2 emissions.
