Global Fuel Economy Initiative (GFEI)

The Global Fuel Economy Initiative (GFEI) is the centerpiece of the vehicle efficiency accelerator. Its primary aim is to reduce emissions and at least double the efficiency of the global vehicle fleet from an average of 8l/100 km in 2005 to 4l/100 km by 2050. It also aims to halve new light duty vehicle fuel economy (in l/100km or gCO2/km) by 2030. This could save 1Gt CO2 annually by 2025, increasing to 2Gt CO2 annually by 2050. GFEI is providing support and capacity building to over fifty countries around the world to introduce policies that can make this happen. The target of working in 100 countries which was announced at COP21 continues to drive GFEIs capacity-building objective on this issue.
