Policy Dialogue on Fuel Economy Platform

This project is aimed at formulating recommendations for fuel economy policy in the APEC region. Specifically, the project objectives are to: (1) ensure trained participants will be able to conduct impact assessment on fuel economy policy in his/her own economies after the training; (2) create framework or platform for fuel economy among APEC economies following Global Fuel Economy Initiative (GFEI); (3) develop recommendations for economies with trained participants on how fuel economy initiative can be established; and (4) increase knowledge and build capacity in impact assessment of fuel economy as one of the energy efficiency measure in transportation sector.

This report presents the discussion during workshops on technical aspects of vehicle fuel-efficient technology as well as non-technical aspects of fuel economy policy implementation in an attempt to reach some common understandings and recommendations on how to further realize benefit from fuel economy policy among APEC economies.
