  1. Make Cars Green! Presentation by David Ward, Director General FIA Foundation for the Automobile and Society The Automobile, Transport and the Environment Summit World Environment Day June 5 2008 Legislative Council Chamber, Parliament Buildings, Wellington, New Zealand

  2. The Challenge of Greening a Growing Global Vehicle Fleet Three Major Issues Air Quality Energy Security Climate Change

  3. Vehicle Emission Standards Are Making Cars Greener

  4. Toxic Emissions are Reducing – US Experience since 1950s

  5. Huge Improvement in Vehicle Performance (USA) * gpm = grams per mile

  6. Delinking Toxic Emissions from Vehicle Use

  7. The European Union Is Following A Similar Path

  8. EU Vehicle Emissions Standards – Stages I to V

  9. Cleaner Cars Need Greener Fuels To reduce automobile toxic emissions it is not enough to rely only on cleaner engine technologies. It is also vital to ensure that cleaner fuels are used so that the vehicle as a total system can reduce its toxic emissions. For example catalyst systems greatly reduce toxic emissions but require both unleaded and low sulphur fuel. Global fuel sulphur levels of less than 50ppm is vital to make cars greener. The FIA Foundation is proud to support the global campaigns of UNEP’s Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles to achieve a total ban on unleaded fuel and progress towards worldwide use of low sulphur fuels

  10. Fuel Quality Progress: Removal of Lead

  11. Fuel Quality Progress: Towards Ultra Low Sulphur Fuels

  12. Driving Down Fuel Sulphur Levels in Europe

  13. Linkage Between Fuel Sulphur and Particulate Matter According to the World Health Organisation 800,000 people die prematurely due to urban air pollution. Diesel and petrol motor vehicles are a major source of emissions of particulate matter. For diesels especially, the combination of catalyst technologies and particulate traps will greatly reduce levels of PM emissions. But with ultra low sulphur fuels (10 ppm) the improvement can be as great as 95%. With growing use of diesel engines in world markets prompted by efforts to reduce carbon emissions and raise fuel economy it is essential to progress towards low and ultra low levels of sulphur in fuel.

  14. The End of Cheap Oil?

  15. It’s the oil price stupid!...heading towards $200?

  16. Oil Reserves: OPEC & Non, Political, & Investment Risk

  17. IEA Est. Supply & Resource Cost of Hydrocarbon Sources

  18. IEA Estimated Total Demand for Liquid Fuels

  19. Global Trends in Automotive Fuel Economy

  20. Climate Change: The Greenhouse Effect

  21. A Doubling of Pre-industrial GHG Levels (250ppm) Will Risk Temperature Rise of Between 2-5 Degrees Centigrade

  22. Consensus That Stabilization at 550ppm is Required With Action Necessary by Both Developed & Developing Nations

  23. The Growing Role of the ‘BRICs’ in Greenhouse Gas Emissions

  24. Economic Costs of Stabilization at 550ppm Stern Review (2007) calls for strong and early action to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Risks will be reduced if GHGs are held at or below 550ppm. This will require emissions to peak in 10-20 years and then fall by 1-3% per year at an estimated cost of 1% of annual global GDP by 2050. Suggested policy options include: Pricing carbon realistically using taxation & emissions trading Encourage innovation in low carbon technologies Remove barriers to energy efficiency Inform, educate and persuade consumers

  25. Basic Principles of Climate Change Action Cost Efficiency – act where the gains are greatest at least cost Burden Sharing – act comprehensively on all global emission sources (both sectors and countries) No Regrets – choose policies that offer wide ranging co-benefits Insurance Approach – take precautionary action now to reduce risk of dangerous climate change

  26. The Share by Sector of Greenhouse Gas Emissions

  27. IEA Projection of Sectoral Wedges for -50% CO2 reduction

  28. Global Comparison of Automotive Fuel Economy Targets

  29. Manufacturers Heading for the EU 130 g/km Target

  30. IEA Energy Technology Perspectives 2008 Low Cost Transport Option Last month the FIA Foundation hosted jointly with the IEA, UNEP and the International Transport Forum a seminar in Paris on global fuel economy issues. The IEA’s Executive Director, Nobuo Tanaka presented the 2008 ETP which assumes that new LDVs can become 50% more efficient by 2030 (fuel use halved, moving from 8 L/100 km to 4) at low or possibly negative cost. The Foundation, IEA, ITF and UNEP are now exploring further global co-operation to promote best practice in automotive fuel economy policies and programmes.

  31. IEA Est. 2008 LDV Technology Cost Per Tonne CO2 Notes: opt = optimistic, pes = pessimistic; based on $60/bbl oil and undiscounted vehicle and fuel costs.

  32. Towards Greener Motoring • The FIA last year adopted ‘Make Cars Green’ a • Declaration on ‘Air Quality, Climate Change • and Automotive Fuel Economy’ which promotes • a global agenda of action for greener motoring. • It encourages automobile clubs to support: • Cost effective and equitable policies to curb GHG and toxic emissions • Stringent emission standards for both vehicle and fuel technologies • A global benchmark to promote fuel economy worldwide • A global test cycle for vehicle emissions that better reflects real world driving • A global target for low sulphur fuels • Eco-driving campaigns • Green taxation that incentives rather than penalises the motorist • Information campaigns to raise consumer awareness of ‘green mobility’ choices • A ‘ten point’ greener motoring guide • For more information about the FIA’s Make Cars Green campaign see: www.makecarsgreen.com

  33. The FIA Foundation for the Automobile & Society Supporting Safe, Clean and Affordable Mobility The FIA Foundation was established in 2001 by the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile as an independent registered charity in the UK with the aim to promote road safety, the environment and sustainable mobility. We are leading efforts to reduce the world’s annual 1.2 million road traffic fatalities and are members of the World Bank Global Road Safety Facility and the UN Road Safety Collaboration. We support the drive to reduce automotive emissions and raise fuel economy. We endorse the FIA’s ‘Make Cars Green’ campaign and are members of the Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles, & the Global Alliance for EcoMobility.
