On the Road in 2035: Reducing Transportation's Petroleum Consumption and GHG Emissions
The MIT authors of "On the Road in 2035: Reducing Transportation's
Petroleum Consumption and GHG Emissions" spent five years studying
various ways to cut fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions,
including propulsion technologies, new fuels and potential policy
measures.
They suggest reducing vehicle weights as much as 20 percent weight and
size of new cars and work to improve light duty vehicle engines and
transmissions with an eye toward fuel efficiency.
From then through the next 30 years, the authors recommend increasing
work on advanced technologies, such as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles
and hydrogen fuel cells. Advanced powertrains must move to take the
majority of the market.
