Air Conditioning Credits

§  CO2 credits given based upon the GWP of the air conditioning refrigerant –  Continuous incentive for better refrigerants without

mandates or artificial deadlines –  Allows manufacturers to consider both GWP and

A/C system efficiency when choosing refrigerant

§  CAFE and CO2 credits for improved air conditioning efficiency

Pickup Truck Technology Credits §  Pickup trucks performing 15% better than their

applicable CO2 target receive a 10 g/mi credit (0.0011 gal/mi) –  Expires after 2021

§  Those performing 20% better than their target receive a 20 g/mi credit (0.0023 gal/mi) –  Credits continue for 5 years even if FE does not

improve after year qualified §  These are artificial credits that reduce the

benefits of the standards –  Especially a concern due to the lower improvements

required from light trucks Slide 12

Hybrid TransmissionA hybrid transmission that uses Toyota’s original power split device

Hybrid TransmissionThe hybrid transmission consists of the power split device, the generator, the electric motor and the reduction gears, etc.

The power from the engine is split into two by the power split device. One of the output shafts is connected to the motor and thewheels while the other is connected to the generator. In this way, the motive power from the engine is transmitted through tworoutes, i.e., a mechanical route and an electrical route.

An electronically controlled continuouslyvariable transmission is also provided, which canchange speed while continuously varying the rpmof the engine and the rpm of the generator andthe electric motor (in relation to vehicle speed).

THS II also reduces friction loss by about30% by using ball bearings in the transmissionand low-friction.

Power Split DeviceThe power split device uses a planetary

gear. The rotational shaft of the planetary carrierinside the gear mechanism is directly linked tothe engine, and transmits the motive power tothe outer ring gear and the inner sun gear viapinion gears. The rotational shaft of the ring gearis directly linked to the motor and transmits thedrive force to the wheels, while the rotational shaftof the sun gear is directly linked to the generator.

Turrentine & Kurani, 2004

§  Out of 60 households (125 vehicle transactions) 9 stated that they compared the fuel economy of vehicles in making their choice.

§  4 households knew their annual fuel costs.

§  None had made any kind of quantitative assessment of the value of fuel savings.

In-depth interviews of 60 California households’ vehicle acquisition histories found no evidence of economically rational decision-making about fuel economy.

Page 32: GHG/CAFE Standard Impacts on Vehicles and …...GHG/CAFE Standard Impacts on Vehicles and Technologies John German, ICCT Univ. of Michigan Transportation Research Institute: Automotive

•  Uncertainty about future fuel savings makes paying for more technology a risky bet -  What MPG will I get (your mileage may vary)? -  How long will my car last? -  How much driving will I do? -  What will gasoline cost? -  What will I give up or pay to get better MPG?

Consumers are, in general, LOSS AVERSE

Causes the market to produce less fuel economy than is economically efficient

EPA and NHTSA received a number of comments about the shape of the car and truck curves. Some commenters, including Honda, Toyota and Volkswagen, stated that the light truck curve was too lenient for large trucks, while Nissan and Honda stated the light truck curve was too stringent for small trucks; Porsche and Volkswagen stated the car curve was too stringent generally, and Toyota stated it was too stringent for small cars. A number of NGOs (Center for Biological Diversity, International Council on Clean Transportation, Natural Resources Defense Council, Sierra Club, Union of Concerned Scientists) also commented on the truck curves as well as the relationship between the car and truck curves. We address all these comments further in Section II.C as well as in Sections III and IV.

Generally speaking, a smaller footprint vehicle will tend to have higher fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions relative to a larger footprint vehicle when both have a comparable level of fuel efficiency improvement technology. Since the finalized standards apply to a manufacturer’s overall passenger car fleet and overall light truck fleet, not to an individual vehicle, if one of a manufacturer’s fleets is dominated by small footprint vehicles, then that fleet will have a higher fuel economy requirement and a lower CO2 requirement than a manufacturer whose fleet is dominated by large footprint vehicles. Compared to the non-attribute based CAFE standards in place prior to MY 2011, the final standards more evenly distribute the compliance burdens of the standards among different manufacturers, based on their respective product offerings. With this footprint-based standard approach, EPA and NHTSA continue to believe that the rules will not create significant incentives to produce vehicles of particular sizes, and thus there should be no significant effect on the relative availability of different vehicle sizes in the fleet due to these standards, which will help to maintain consumer choice during the MY 2017 to MY 2025 rulemaking timeframe. Consumers should still be able to purchase the size of vehicle that meets their needs. Table I-6 helps to illustrate the varying CO2 emissions and fuel economy targets under the final standards that different vehicle sizes will have, although we emphasize again that these targets are not actual standards – the standards are manufacturer-specific, rather than vehicle-specific.

4. Program Flexibilities for Achieving Compliance

a. CO2/CAFE Credits Generated Based on Fleet Average Over-Compliance

As proposed, the agencies are finalizing several provisions which provide compliance flexibility to manufacturers to meet the standards. Many of the provisions are also found in the MYs 2012-2016 rules. For example, the agencies are continuing to allow manufacturers to generate credits for over-compliance with the CO2 and CAFE standards.77 As noted above, under the footprint-based standards, a manufacturer’s ultimate compliance obligations are determined at the end of each model year, when production of vehicles for that model year is complete. Since the fleet average standards that apply to a manufacturer’s car and truck fleets are based on the applicable footprint-based curves, a production volume-weighted fleet average requirement will be calculated for each averaging set (cars and trucks) based on the mix and volumes of the models manufactured for sale by the manufacturer. If a manufacturer’s car and/or truck fleet achieves a fleet average CO2/CAFE level better than its car and/or truck standards, then the manufacturer generates credits. Conversely, if the fleet average CO2/CAFE level does not meet the standard, the fleet would incur debits (also referred to as a shortfall). As in the MY 2011 CAFE program under EPCA/EISA, and also in MYs 2012-2016 for the light-duty vehicle GHG and CAFE program, a manufacturer whose fleet generates credits in a given model year would have several options for using those credits, including credit carry-back, credit carry-forward, credit transfers, and credit trading.

Credit “carry-back” means that manufacturers are able to use credits to offset a deficit that had accrued in a prior model year, while credit “carry-forward” means that manufacturers can bank credits and use them toward compliance in future model years. EPCA, as amended by EISA, requires NHTSA to allow manufacturers to carry back credits for up to three model years,

77 This credit flexibility is required by EPCA/EISA, see 49 U.S.C. 32903, and is well within EPA’s discretion under section 202 (a) of the CAA.

Summary •  Standards needed due to consumer “loss aversion” •  Improvements in conventional powertrains and load

reduction will be far greater than expected •  Only modest number of hybrids – and no xEVs – needed •  P2 hybrid cost will be accepted by the mass market ~2022

•  Standards will have no impact on vehicle sales •  Fuel savings will be larger than increased car payment

•  Future vehicles may increase in size •  Footprint system provides no incentive to downsize •  Differential changes to the light truck footprint curve

increase the incentive to reclassify cars as trucks and to make light trucks larger

•  Fuel share of disposable income will decrease
