This project collected carbon dioxide emissions vehicle test data from overseas, surveyed current available world energy saving technologies and CO2 control strategies, adopted framework of foreign advance countries as the international CO2 control technical and regulation trend to propose future domestic vehicle CO2 emission reduction strategies and directions in Taiwan. Since most of international CO2 emission control regulations are mandatory, and the advantages and weakness of using linear vehicle mass in Europe and footprint in US as control parameter units, this issue was focused as discussion topics to hold four experts meetings and to draft two different vehicle CO2 emission standards. The first propose was to set more stringent vehicle fuel economy standards, and the second one was to adopt the idea of corporate average emission standards, and set average 163g/km CO2 emissions from new vehicles by 2015 as our national target. Two slopes for the control target lines were set and flexible measures to mitigate impacts on manufacturers. To avoid the inconsistent test procedures caused by both EU and US test driving cycles are recognized in Taiwan and not to put additional burden on manufacturers, this project selected 33 passenger cars to be tested for both driving cycles and try to best fit of a conversion factor between two test results. The results show the conversion factors for different engine displacement passenger cars were between values of 1.08 to 1.24, and the effect of adding turbo charge devices is not relevant. A single conversion factor 1.15 is proposed to be used as shown in the following formula: NEDCCO2=FTPCO2*1.15. Project investigation has shown that range from 1 to 12 percents of CO2 reduction has been achieved by the Voluntary Agreement signee in recent three years. Through the Voluntary Agreement, about 15,834 tons of CO2 reduction was achieved within two years. In 2011, six additional manufacturers have signed the Voluntary Agreement and commit to provide purchase choice for Public with more low carbon emission vehicles. Setting Zhongshan Village, DongShan Township, Yilan County as a low carbon transportation area to improve traffic jams and air pollution problems that caused by mass number of tourists was taking as an evaluation case. This project surveyed the cost willing to pay by tourists for the low carbon transportation, evaluated the viability of the operation model, and estimated the effectiveness of CO2 reduction, and provided to Public as reference for setting future low carbon transportation areas. Finally, through submission of project execution summary report to international journal to describe the current policy planning status of Taiwan vehicle CO2 control, in this way to increase Taiwan’s international visibility and declare our determination to promote vehicle CO2 reduction.
