The ICCT was formed in 2001, when 18 air quality regulators and experts from China, the European Union, France, Germany and the United States published an unprecedented consensus document on preferred government policies for shaping the future of motor vehicle technology and transportation fuels. The Bellagio Memorandum on Motor Vehicle Policy (available below in five languages) provides a guide for policymakers advancing the transition to clean vehicles and fuels and for automakers and oil companies working to develop products for the coming decades. The document continues to guide the activities and research of the ICCT, which has grown to include members from most of the world's top 10 vehicle markets.
Through reports, workshops and regular meetings of council participants, the ICCT has continued to provide information on best practices for the advancement of clean transportation.
The ICCT is supported by ClimateWorks and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.
