What does the campaign seek to do?
The campaign seeks to add value in 2 main ways. First we plan to improve understanding of the issue of fuel economy by adding to the evidence base, particularly in terms of data on current fuel economy standards, levels and regulations.
In addition, we aim to work with Governments, industry and other key stakeholders to raise awareness of this issue, share good practice and support the development of fuel economy policies. 50by50 does not provide a ‘blueprint’ for individual countries or regions on the path to improved fuel economy. Instead, we work with interested countries on the basis of a ‘toolkit approach’ - presenting the possible options and their implications, and then offering support in the choices they make.
The role of the GFEI extends to monitoring trends and progress towards an average global 50% reduction in emissions (per km) by 2050 (e.g. The 50by50 Annual Report on Global Fuel Economy).
The GFEI also aims to transfer knowledge and expertise on the fuel economy potential of available and emerging technologies in the sector, provide guidance and support on the development of policies, programs and standards to promote fuel efficient vehicles, garner information and analysis on the international movement of new and second hand vehicles, and the costs and benefits of best practices to promote cleaner, more efficient fleets.
