Greenhouse gas emissions from global shipping, 2013–2015
2017
Author(s): Olmer N, Comer B, Roy B, Mao X, Rutherford D
Describes trends in global ship activity and emissions for the years 2013 to 2015 and finds that emissions generally increased over this period, with efficiency improvements more than offset by increases in activity.

Improved heavy-duty vehicle fuel efficiency in India: benefits, costs and environmental impacts
2017
Author(s): Nihan K, Gopal AR, Sharpe B, Delgado O, Bandivadekar A, Garg M
Examines the benefits and costs of fuel-saving technologies for new heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) in India over the next 10 years and, explores how various scenarios for the deployment of vehicles with these technologies will impact petroleum consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions over the next three decades.
Annual statistical portrait of technologies, fuel consumption, and GHG and pollutant emissions in Europe’s passenger car, light-commercial, and heavy-duty fleets.
Cost assessment of near- and mid-term technologies to improve new aircraft fuel efficiency
2016
Author(s): Kharina A, Rutherford D, Zeinali M
Finds that fuel consumption of new aircraft designs could be cut by 25% in 2024 and 40% in 2034 using cost-effective emerging technologies—double the rate of improvement seen in designs coming from manufacturers now in response to market forces alone.
This study is an extension of ICCT’s work benchmarking U.S. airline fuel efficiency on domestic operations since 2010.
