Start year: 2014

Summary: The automotive industry is interested in creating models that assess the effect vehicle choices have on real-world CO2 over the life of a vehicle. Our present focus is on fleet averages at sale, however there¿s strong CSR argument to find out what happens throughout the life of a vehicle. Inputs concern which cars, what happens to the cars as they age, and the effect of any policies affecting the former two points.
