GFEI partners have revisited existing GFEI targets given ongoing developments in the vehicle fuel efficiency arena and the growing urgency around climate change. GFEI is expanding to incorporate all road transportation vehicles, to provide a more robust characterization of on-road global transportation’s decarbonization potential by 2050. The Initiative’s ambitions are also framed in terms of both vehicle efficiency and greenhouse gas targets. These targets are appropriately ambitious, trackable, policy relevant, and easily communicated.
For GFEI 2.0, we reaffirm our existing targets for new light- and heavy-duty vehicles in 2030 and 2035 respectively, establish more stringent 2050 targets for new light- and heavy-duty vehicles, establish first ever targets for two and three wheeled vehicles and buses in 2035 and 2050, and compile these targets into a vision for achieving major reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector by midcentury.
