EPA RELEASES THE 2010 FUEL ECONOMY TRENDS REPORT

EPA reported a decrease in average carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and a slight increase in the average fuel efficiency for new light duty vehicles in its 2010 fuel economy trends annual report. The report provides data on the CO2 emissions, fuel economy and improved technology of new light-duty vehicles (cars, minivans, sport utility vehicles, and pickup trucks), that account for 50 percent of vehicle sales. Technologies such as hybrid-electric vehicles, clean diesel and variable displacement engines are helping to cut our oil addiction and reducing global warming. For information on the report: ‘Light-Duty Automotive Technology, Carbon Dioxide Emissions, and Fuel Economy Trends: 1975 through 2010,’ go to http://www.epa.gov/otaq/fetrends.htm
