The SAE World Congress was held in Detroit and covered a broad range of topics pertinent to transport decarbonization. Here’s a link to download presentations on emissions and sustainability.
EU Commission finds real-world CO2 emissions from cars and vans in Europe greatly exceed lab certification values. Plug-in hybrids are not being charged as much as estimated.
The U.S. EPA has finalized the Phase 3 GHG rule specifying CO2 emission reductions from heavy-duty trucks and buses over MY 2027 – 2032.
The EPA final rule will require a fleet averaged 50% reduction in CO2 emissions for light-duty vehicles, over MY 2027 – 2032.

A summary of select portions of the SAE Government Industry meeting, held in Washington DC, which highlighted the growing concerns of the industry with government mandates and preparedness for tackling the infrastructure barriers and low consumer / fleet acceptance.
Notes from the 2023 Sustainable Fleet Technology Conference covering a wide range of practical issues for fleet decarbonization
Here’s the first look at the CAFE standards proposed by NHTSA for model year 2027 through 2032 cars and light trucks. More to come.
A downloadable summary of the U.S. EPA announced the Phase 3 GHG proposal for heavy-duty vehicles. From 2027 to 2032, 45% reduction in CO2 emissions for light vocational vehicles and 25% for Class 8 sleeper cabs. Over half of light vocational and a quarter of sleeper cabs expected to be ZEVs by 2032.
How are light-duty cars and trucks expected to meet future EPA fuel economy standards? What level of electrification would be required? Would hybrids play a role? How does one go about calculating it? Here’s a case study attempting to address some of these questions.
