Improving Energy Efficiency in Transport: IEA's Efforts

This working paper discusses the International Energy Agency's (IEA) work on improving energy efficiency in the transport sector. It highlights the projected increase in oil demand from transportation and the need for efficiency gains and deployment of low-carbon energy to reduce emissions. The paper also outlines the IEA's policy recommendations on fuel-efficient vehicles and their efforts in organizing workshops and launching the Global Fuel Economy Initiative.

  5. IEA Work on Vehicle Efficiency Policy (1) • 25 Energy Efficiency Policy Recommendations by IEA (2008) • IEA recommends action on: • Fuel-efficient tyres • Mandatory fuel efficiency standards for light-duty vehicles • Fuel economy of heavy-duty vehicles • Eco-driving • Information papers:  • Fuel-Efficient Road Vehicle Non-Engine Components - Potential Savings and Policy Recommendations(2007) • Review of International Policies for Vehicle Fuel Efficiency (2008).

  6. IEA Work on Vehicle Efficiency Policy (2) • Workshops, within a wide range of advisory and promotional tasks designed to help countries to understand and implement the policy recommendations. • Three workshops on vehicle components: • Energy Efficient Tyres: Improving the On-Road Performance of Motor Vehicles, Paris, November, 2005. • Energy Efficiency Through Better Car Components, Paris, June,2006. • Cooling Cars with Less Fuel, Paris, October, 2006. • An international workshop on Fuel Efficiency Policies for Heavy-Duty Vehicles,  Paris, June 2007. • Workshop on Ecodriving, Paris, November 2007.

  7. IEA Work on Vehicle Efficiency Policy (3) • Forthcoming publication on transport policies and technologies (to be published in mid 2009). • Objective: Identify policies and measures to improve on-road fuel efficiency. The contents will cover: • All transport modes such as road, rail, marine and air • Various energy sources such as fossil fuels, biofuels, hydrogen and electricity • Technologies to improve energy efficiency • Policies to foster technology improvement and shift markets more energy efficient On-road fuel efficiency Tested fuel efficiency Fuel efficiency of components Driving behavior

  8. Global Fuel Economy Initiative • IEA and its partners launched the “Global Fuel Economy Initiative” on 4 March, 2009 in Geneva. Partners: • OECD International Transport Forum • UN Environment Program • FIA Foundation • This initiative features four key elements: • Data development and analysis of fuel economy potentials by country, region • Support for national and regional policy-making efforts • Cooperation with stakeholders (e.g. vehicle manufacturers) • Information campaigns around the world to educate consumers, stakeholders

  9. Conclusions • Without policy interventions, CO2 emissions and energy use in many countries will increase significantly by 2050 • A number of effective policies and efficient technologies for CO2 reduction are already in place • It is important to share and implement these “Best Practices” worldwide • EFV would help reduction of CO2 emissions and energy use through promotion of fuel efficient vehicles
