EPA celebrates the fiftieth Anniversary of its Automotive Tendencies Report
SHARE

For the reason that passage of the Clear Air Act in 1970, the Environmental Safety Company has labored collaboratively with the automotive business to cut back air air pollution from mild responsibility autos. This 12 months marks the fiftieth anniversary of the EPA’s Automotive Tendencies Report, an annual publication that explains the company’s advanced regulatory framework and paperwork the compliance of particular person automakers. The authoritative report incorporates a complete dataset on each mild responsibility car bought in the US since 1975and supplies refined evaluation of the main tendencies shaping the business’s environmental outcomes.

The 2024 report consists of finalized knowledge from the 2023 mannequin 12 months and is prefaced by a letter from EPA Administrator Michael Regan acknowledging the 50-year milestone. The congratulatory assertion honors the company’s profession professionals, highlighting achievements that “ultimately led to an impressive 99 percent reduction of common vehicle tailpipe pollutants, such as hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter.” The letter goes on to emphasise the scientific worth of the dataset because the auto business struggles to mitigate tailpipe carbon dioxide, an inevitable byproduct of gasoline combustion and a considerable contributor to local weather change.

The fifty-year historical past of real-world gas financial system tendencies might be divided into three distinct intervals. Between 1975 and 1987, gas financial system improved quickly as the US responded to the Arab oil embargo, rising from 13.1 MPG to 22.0 MPG. When considerations about vitality independence pale through the late eighties, fuel mileage started a sluggish descent, dropping steadily to a low of 19.3 MPG in 2004. A powerful upward pattern emerged in 2005 as rising apprehension about local weather change catalyzed a relentless effort to mitigate tailpipe carbon dioxide. The 2023 figures for MPG and CO2 emissions are the most recent in a string of all-time information that started in 2009.

The EPA attributes a lot of the latest progress to elevated manufacturing of battery electrical autos and plug-in hybrid electrical autos. When BEVs and PHEVs are statistically faraway from the 2023 mannequin 12 months fleet, common CO2 emissions rise to 357 g/mi and common gas financial system drops to 24.9 MPG. These hypothetical averages are similar to the finalized outcomes from the 2017 mannequin 12 months. Automotive applied sciences that improve the gas financial system of typical inside combustion autos are being undermined by client tendencies favoring bigger, extra highly effective fashions, and it will likely be difficult to enhance their effectivity a lot additional.

The fiftieth Anniversary of the Automotive Tendencies Report coincides with a dawning period of environmental innovation. Sustaining progress towards carbon dioxide will now depend upon growing the proliferation of our cleanest powertrains, and there are good causes to be hopeful as we mirror on the promising outcomes from 2023.
