Steel Industry Supports Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership Study Highlighting Life Cycle Emissions To Properly Assess Future Vehicle Carbon Footprint
BRUSSELS, 29 June 2011 – According to a new study, “Preparing for a Life Cycle CO2 Measure”, vehicle manufacturing emissions can represent 23 to 46 percent of total vehicle emissions. These findings, recently released by the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership (LCVP), an advisory group working to accelerate the shift to low-carbon vehicles and fuels, and conducted by Ricardo, a global engineering firm, demonstrate that emissions other than tailpipe emissions are significant and therefore need to be included in future vehicle regulations.
