Topics / CO2 Reduction Technologies for the European Car and Van Fleet: A 2020–2025 Assessment

The ICCT has compiled detailed data on the CO2 reduction potential and associated costs of vehicle technologies for the European light-duty vehicle market (passenger cars and light commercial vehicles). The analysis incorporates extensive vehicle simulation modeling as well as a detailed tear-down cost assessment. Papers in this series summarize the underlying methodology, input data, results of the project.
