Table 9.4: Key Selected Policies on Light-Duty Vehicle Fuel Economy in
the Alternative Policy Scenario
Country Scope Timeline Structure
Australia Reduction in average test fuel
consumption for new petrol-fuelled
passenger cars to 6.8 litres/100 km
by 2010 (from 8.3 litres/100 km
in 2001). Light trucks are excluded.
Canada Progressive tightening of corporate
average fuel economy standards
in line with US standards.
Reduction of annual GHG emissions
from Canada’s vehicle fleet by 5.3 Mt
in 2010 (interim reduction goals of
2.4 Mt in 2007, 3.0 Mt in 2008 and
3.9 Mt in 2009).
China Reduction of the fuel consumption
of passenger cars by approximately
10% by 2005 and 20% by 2008.
European
Union
Reduction of fleet-average vehicle
CO 2 emissions to 140 g/km
by 2008 and 120 g/km by 2012.
Japan Reduction of the fuel consumption of
passenger cars from 1995 to 2010 by
approximately 23% (for passenger
cars) and by 13% (for light trucks).
United
States
Progressive increase from 20.7 mpg in
2004 to 22.2 miles per gallon for lightduty
trucks by model year 2007. The
light-truck fuel economy targets will
increase from 22.2 in 2007 to an average
equivalent of 24 miles per gallon in
2011 under reformed CAFE standards.
California: reduction by 2016 of CO2 equivalent emissions from light-duty
vehicles by about 30% (33% for
passenger cars and 25% for light
trucks) compared with 2002.
