Icct research focuses on strategies-including voluntary measures, incentives, and mandates-to decarbonize and electrify the global hdv fleet. The icct also identifies the most cost-effective and impactful solutions through a variety of research methodologies…

Icct's passenger vehicles program analyzes and identifies the technologies and public policies that are most effective at eliminating carbon and other harmful emissions from ldvs. While efficiency standards have reduced emissions from conventional ldvs, other pollutants…
