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.
Hybrid vehicle technology developments and opportunities in the 2025–2035 time frame
This paper analyzes hybrid electric vehicle technology and potential CO2 emission reductions, the historic and future costs of this technology, and how future regulations could be designed to minimize emissions from ICE-equipped vehicles.
Fuel burn of new commercial jet aircraft: 1960 to 2024
Stricter fuel efficiency standards and policies are needed to drive further reductions in aircraft fuel burn, especially for new aircraft types and freighters, to align with aviation’s net-zero emissions goal.
Assessment of automotive steel demand in the United States
This report analyzes quantities of different types of steel used in the production of light-duty vehicles in the United States and estimates the greenhouse gas emissions reduction potential if the industry were to replace today’s conventional steel in the body-in-white with green steel.
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.
Real-world NOx emissions from diesel pickup trucks in the United States: A 2023 update
Analyzes real-world emissions of diesel pickup trucks in the United States.
Pollutant emissions from light-duty vehicles across North America: A comparative analysis
Comparative real-world emissions analysis between Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
Powering Seattle fleets: A charging infrastructure strategy for battery electric medium- and heavy-duty vehicles
To prepare for the expected surge in electric medium- and heavy-duty vehicles (MHDV)s within the Pacific Northwest United States, Seattle City Light can use electrification plans and traffic patterns to anticipate future MHDV charging and grid capacity needs within its service territory.
Demand response to aviation carbon pricing in Canada
Models the effect of introducing a Canada-wide carbon price on interprovincial flights and assesses a scenario of using a frequent flyer levy to achieve the same change in demand as carbon pricing.
Feasibility study of future energy options for Great Lakes shipping
Evaluates future energy options for Great Lakes shipping, analyzing alternative fuels and technologies against environmental regulations, costs, and emissions, aiming to guide the industry towards decarbonization by 2050.
