Study<br />
For all intents and purposes, the current economic crisis does not appear to<br />
have had a significant impact on the development plans for EVs and PHEVs<br />
already announced by manufacturers. Indeed, a number of OEMs have been<br />
adamant that their strategic plans with regard to this new technology will<br />
not be influenced. <strong>The</strong> coming months will show whether these statements<br />
hold true or not.<br />
3.3 "Push" – Encouraging OEMs to produce EVs and PHEVs<br />
Our assumption is that the governments of major OECD countries will<br />
live up to their "pioneering role" in reducing CO 2 emissions in all sectors,<br />
including road transportation. As we saw in Chapter 1, the IEA's Scenario<br />
450 reveals that LDVs in OECD countries would have to almost halve their<br />
new car fleet emissions by <strong>2020</strong> compared to today's levels to achieve the<br />
proposed vehicle stock emission reductions. In Chapter 2 we saw that the<br />
potential improvements to ICEs, although important in themselves, are<br />
limited in their overall effect. EVs and PHEVs would therefore need to<br />
form a large share of the new car sales fleet by <strong>2020</strong>.
