Supply-side regulations to accelerate the market for zero-emission heavy vehicles: Best practices from major policies
Drawing from experiences in California, the European Union, and the United States, this brief examines how SSRs can be designed to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission HDVs through market certainty and compliance flexibility.

Vision 2050: Update on the global zero-emission vehicle transition in 2024
This update to the ICCT’s Vision 2050 series tracks global progress on zero-emission vehicle policies and markets through August 2024. The analysis shows recently adopted policies could avoid an additional 23 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions by 2050, but that a gap remains between this updated baseline and a more ambitious scenario aligned with the Paris climate goals.

Global electric vehicle market monitor for light-duty vehicles in key markets, 2024 H1
This Global Market Monitor analyzes the development of the electric vehicle (EV) market for light-duty vehicles (LDVs), including by manufacturer.

Electrifying road transport with less mining : A global and regional battery material outlook
The study estimates that announced global battery production capacities for electric vehicles exceed demand through 2030. For the global supply in battery minerals, the scaling-up of mining capacities is keeping pace with the growing demand in the medium term, while global mineral reserves are sufficient to support future battery production in the long term.

Enhancing user experience in public electric vehicle charging
This report assesses the user-friendliness of the existing public charging infrastructure networks for electric passenger cars in Canada, Europe, and the United States, focusing on three key factors: availability, reliability, and interoperability.

Updating marine engine emission standards using real-world data: A potential update to IMO’s NOx technical code
This brief presents new analysis using Automatic Identification System (AIS) data to estimate real-world engine load distributions and provides recommendations for changes to IMO’s NOx Technical Code 2008.

Economic benefits of building zero-emission capable vessels in East Asia
Examines the economic potential for major shipbuilding nations—China, Republic of Korea, and Japan—in capturing the first mover advantage for the transition to zero-emission capable vessels (ZECVs).

Meeting the Mark: Aligning regulations and standards with ZEV targets
Catalogues and compares targets for new ZEV sales and binding regulations and standards in major vehicle markets.

Tracing the steel supply chain of the shipbuilding industry
Investigates the greenhouse gas emissions associated with steelmaking for shipbuilding and proposes strategies for decarbonizing the industry through improved energy efficiency, increased use of low-emission processes, and enhanced cross-industry collaboration.

Lifetime emissions from aircraft under a net-zero carbon budget
To meet the international goal of net-zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, all new aircraft delivered after about 2035 will need to emit zero net CO2 emissions throughout their operational lifetimes.
