GFEI Green Global NCAP Labelling/Green Scoring Workshop

30 Apr 2013

Workshop — Paris, France

Background

The clean vehicle scoring system to be developed with the experts' input aims at engaging manufacturers and countries to release the homologation data transparently and to have an independent platform that promotes low tailpipe emission vehicles. The safety NCAP has set a precedent in engaging manufacturers in performing tests that would not otherwise be performed, and to share testing results through an independent platform that now has effectively set the standard for crashworthiness.

The scoring system debated during this workshop is intended to be the backbone of the upcoming Green Global NCAP campaign. This campaign will help set an independent yet respected landmark for an agreed definition of what is a clean vehicle and how to classify clean vehicles, based on the vehicle efficiency and the tailpipe emissions.

This workshop aims to debate what should be the optimum methodology to calculate such a clean vehicle score. A wide consensus among the experts present will be sought in order to carry on with the Green Global NCAP campaign deployment.
