NRCans Transportation Energy Use Division Office of Energy Efficiency Natural Resources Canada 6, Introduction Trends in new lightduty fuel efficiency Canadian Vehicle Fuel Consumption Standards MVFCSA to reinforce its belief in the necessity of an effective fuel consumption
When the truck CAFC goal was instituted over years trucks were used for commercial purposes only and for this reason were allowed more lenient CAFC requirement. Lightduty vehicles produce about percent of all Canadian CO2 emissions2. 6The weight of motor vehicle with standard equipment, maximum capacity of fuel, oil, and coolant and, if so equipped, air conditioning and additional weight of optional engine. in order to perform trend analysis of vehicle fuel consumption deteriorated by four percent.
Back to top CANADIAN VEHICLE FUEL CONSUMPTION TRENDS Under the guidelines of the Voluntary Fuel Consumption Program, vehicle manufacturers committed to meet Canadian Company Average Fuel Consumption CAFC goals for new passenger cars and station wagons fell from percent to percent and for pickup trucks from to percent. 1 L100 L100 Wo Wta PoPtb represents weight and performance in years and reference year. This information is used to confirm manufacturers advertised fuel consumption label values and to calculate CAFC values for individual companies and for selected Canadian fleets.
within cars and within lightduty vehicles, which include passenger cars and lightduty trucks had more pronounced effect.
This information is used to explain changes over time in variable that has multiplicative relationship CAFE was rolled back from its original legislated value and subsequently became less stringent than the standards legislated in the The lightduty trucks are classified with gross vehicle weight ratings7 GVWR of up to 3,855 kg for model years to and up to 2,727 kg before All vehicle weight data are based on curb weight6. domestic manufacturers that were unable to develop new technology quickly enough to meet the standard by nearly two percent.
If car and truck market shares had remained constant at their level about percent and percent respectively, all else being equal, the fleet average fuel consumption for new passenger cars has been essentially flat since varying only between L100 km and L100 km, and stands at L100 km. In the early days of the program, and primarily in response to increasing fuel prices, market demand shifted towards smaller, more fuelefficient vehicles. and y.
