The International Council on Clean Transportation
As a major and rapidly expanding source of greenhouse gases and other air pollutants, transportation presents an urgent global challenge. In 20 years the number of cars on the planet is expected to go from one to two billion; based on current projections, the amount of energy used for transport will double by 2050. The goal of the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) is to protect public health, minimize climate change and improve quality of life for billions of people as the world’s transportation infrastructure grows.
By assembling a small group of about 30 top regulators and policymakers from the 10 largest motor vehicle markets — which together account for 85% of the world’s new car and truck sales — and providing these members and other interested parties with accurate information about research, best practices and technical resources for improving the efficiency and environmental performance of cars, trucks and other vehicles, ICCT helps accelerate an urgently needed transition to sustainable transportation.

Policy Update #5
Proposed regulations would reduce the fuel consumption of new passenger vehicles in China by 14% compared to the 2007-08 baseline. Translated into a greenhouse gas metric, the fleet average requirement would be about 167 gCO2/km, 28% higher than the EU requirement of 130 gCO2/km.
