Background:
|
The IEA was called upon by G8 leaders at their 2005 summit in Gleneagles to advise on alternative energy scenarios and strategies aimed at a clever and competitive energy future and was asked, among other things, to review existing policies on vehicle efficiency and identify best practices. Driving behaviour can have a significant impact on “real” on-road fuel efficiency. For example, one estimate shows moderate acceleration would improve fuel efficiency by around 10%.
The International Energy Agency, together with the International Transport Forum will host a workshop to examine country experience in promoting ecodriving throughout the transport sector, and to explore successful practices in integrating ecodriving into national transport policies. The Workshop welcomes policymakers, government officials, researchers, and representatives from NGOs and industries. |
