Substantial advances in European road vehicle emissions have been achieved over the past 3 decades driven by strengthening revisions in emissions legislation and enabled by advances in fuel, vehicle engine and emissions control technologies. As both vehicle technology...
JRC (the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission), EUCAR and Concawe have updated their joint evaluation of the Well-to-Wheels energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for a wide range of potential future fuel and powertrain options, first published in...
A Concawe study examined several options for achieving a low-carbon transport system in the EU by 2050. Significantly, a mass EV adoption scenario and a low-carbon fuels scenario both achieve similar reductions in total parc greenhouse gas emissions, at similar...
Improvements in vehicle efficiency will be a key factor in ensuring that liquid fuels remain a vital partner in the future of road transport. This article looks at the role of high-octane petrol (HOP) in improving engine efficiency, and summarises the findings of a...
Concawe’s modelling and vehicle testing study shows that fuels and vehicles can be optimised together to take advantage of higher-RON fuels, and achieve significant improvements in efficiency and CO2 emissions.
