Climate 2030 Blueprint
This appendix lists 'off-the-shelf' vehicle technologies from 2008 models that reduce carbon emissions and fuel consumption. It categorizes these into engine technologies (such as cylinder shutoff control, direct injection, turbocharging, and variable valve control), transmission technologies (including automatic manual, continuously variable, and six-speed automatic transmissions), and accessory technologies (specifically electric power steering). The document notes that while some designs offer modest gains individually, combining multiple fuel-efficient technologies can lead to greater reductions in carbon emissions and increases in fuel economy.
