The combined global needs to reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) have reached a critical mass. And those needs are being reinforced by regulation.
While there are some uncertainties in final rulings, U.S. regulations will require at least an average 40 per cent reduction in fuel consumption from new vehicles by 2020, and Canada is expected to follow suit.
Such a dramatic reduction in what is, for the automotive industry, a relatively short time frame will require an equally dramatic rethinking of vehicle design."
