Fuel-efficient vehicles

In Europe, the Commission has proposed an average CO₂ emission objective of 130 g/km for vehicles sold in 2012 (in comparison with the average of 160 g/km emitted in 2008). It has also set a target of 95 g/km by 2020. Cutting the fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions of vehicles is therefore an important objective that plays a significant role in structuring the industry.

Research at IFP focuses primarily on controlling vehicle fuel consumption and cutting CO₂ emissions. More specifically, studies are concentrating on improving conventional powertrains, assessing alternative fuels and developing vehicles electrification.
