Organizations Filed Purposes: OUR MISSION IS TO IMPROVE THE ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF ROAD, MARINE, AND AIR TRANSPORTATION, IN ORDER TO BENEFIT PUBLIC HEALTH AND MITIGATE CLIMATE CHANGE.

THE PURPOSE OF ICCT IS TO DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE THE ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE AND EFFICIENCY OF CARS, TRUCKS, AND TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD IN ORDER TO PROTECT AND IMPROVE PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT, AND TO CARRY ON ANY OTHER CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES AS DETERMINED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

HEAVY DUTY VEHICLES/ ELECTRIC VEHICLES:POLICYMAKERS CAN DRAW ON A GROWING PORTFOLIO OF MEASURES TO REDUCE CLIMATE IMPACTS AND LOCAL AIR POLLUTION FROM ON-ROAD FREIGHT. THESE INCLUDE VOLUNTARY MEASURES, SUCH AS GREEN FREIGHT PROGRAMS OR FUEL-EFFICIENCY LABELING, MANDATES SUCH AS VEHICLE EFFICIENCY STANDARDS OR EXHAUST POLLUTANT LIMITS AND ZERO EMISSION OR ELECTRIFICATION TARGETS. ICCT'S HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLES PROGRAM CONDUCTS RESEARCH TO IDENTIFY AND PROMOTE COST-EFFECTIVE, TECHNOLOGICALLY AMBITIOUS EFFORTS ACROSS THAT PORTFOLIO OF POLICY OPTIONS, AND CONTRIBUTES PRACTICAL EXPERTISE TO GOVERNMENTS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS ENGAGED IN DESIGNING, OPERATING, AND EVALUATING PROGRAMS TO ADVANCE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CLEANER FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION SECTOR.

PASSENGER VEHICLES/ELECTRIC VEHICLES:PASSENGER CARS, LIGHT TRUCKS AND VANS, MOTORCYCLES, SCOOTERS, AND OTHER TWO- AND THREE-WHEELED VEHICLES ACCOUNT FOR ABOUT A THIRD OF GLOBAL OIL DEMAND AND PRODUCE ABOUT HALF OF ALL TRANSPORTATION-RELATED GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. AND WHILE GREAT STRIDES HAVE BEEN MADE IN CONTROLLING POLLUTANT EMISSIONS FROM LIGHT-DUTY VEHICLES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO LOCAL AIR POLLUTIONCARBON MONOXIDE, UNBURNED HYDROCARBONS, SULFUR OXIDES, NITROGEN OXIDES, PARTICULATES, OTHER AIR TOXINSTHOSE VEHICLES ARE STILL A SIGNIFICANT CAUSE OF UNHEALTHY AIR WORLDWIDE, PARTICULARLY NEAR MAJOR ROADWAYS AND IN URBAN AREAS WITH A HIGH CONCENTRATION OF VEHICLE ACTIVITY. EFFICIENCY STANDARDS ARE REDUCING OIL CONSUMPTION AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM THE GROWING LIGHT-DUTY FLEET, BUT MORE FORCEFUL PUBLIC POLICY ACTION TO EXTEND EFFICIENCY STANDARDS AND COMPLEMENTARY FISCAL POLICIES, ENSURE MANUFACTURERS' REAL COOPERATION WITH POLICY GOALS, AND SUPPORT A TECHNOLOGICAL TRANSITION TO ZERO-EMISSION VEHICLES IS NEEDED IF WE ARE TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE THE FUTURE CLIMATE AND HEALTH EFFECTS OF THE LIGHT-DUTY VEHICLE SECTOR. ELECTRIFICATION IS A CORE COMPONENT OF ICCT'S PASSENGER VEHICLE PROGRAM. ICCT'S ELECTRIC VEHICLE PROGRAM AIMS TO UNDERSTAND AND DESCRIBE WHAT POLICIES AND INCENTIVES ARE MOST EFFECTIVE IN THE EARLY GROWTH STAGES FOR THE GLOBAL ELECTRIC VEHICLE MARKET. ICCT ANALYZES TRENDS IN ELECTRIC-VEHICLE TECHNOLOGIES AND IN VEHICLE MARKETS; EVALUATES HOW REGULATION, TAX INCENTIVES, NON-FISCAL PROMOTIONAL POLICIES, AND INFRASTRUCTURE ARE HELPING TO DRIVE THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE MARKET; AND COMPARES THE DIFFERENT POLICY APPROACHES ACROSS COUNTRIES AND CITIES AROUND THE WORLD TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE EMERGING BEST PRACTICES TO ACCELERATE THE TRANSITION TO ELECTRIC DRIVE. IN ADDITION TO RESEARCH, ICCT WORKS DIRECTLY WITH GOVERNMENTS, PARTICULARLY THROUGH THEZERO-EMISSION VEHICLE ALLIANCE, TO INFORM AND SUPPORT PRACTICAL POLICY MAKING THAT CAN FACILITATE THE NECESSARY TECHNOLOGICAL TRANSITION TO A ZERO-EMISSION TRANSPORTATION SECTOR.

MARINE & AVIATION:ICCT'S AVIATION PROGRAM WORKS TO ENSURE THATENVIRONMENTAL POLICY FOR THE AVIATION SECTOR IS INFORMED BY HIGH-QUALITY, TRANSPARENT ANALYSIS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE OF BOTH AIRCRAFT AND AIRLINES. ICCT HAS PURSUED THAT GOAL THROUGH RESEARCH ONAIRCRAFT TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT,AIRLINE FUEL EFFICIENCY,ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARD DESIGN, AND THE USE OFALTERNATIVE FUELSIN AVIATION. THANKS TO ITS MEMBERSHIP IN GROUPS LIKE THEINTERNATIONAL COALITION FOR SUSTAINABLE AVIATION(ICSA), ICCT IS ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE RESEARCH DIRECTLY TO GOVERNMENT AGENCIES LIKE THEINTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGANIZATION(ICAO), TO PRAGMATICALLY INFORM THE DESIGN OF POLICIES TO REDUCE TO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF FLYING. ICCT RESEARCH ALSO SUPPORTS EFFORTS BY CONSUMERS TO MINIMIZE THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF THEIR TRAVEL AND EFFORTS BY INDUSTRY GROUPS AT THE FOREFRONT OF AVIATION ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION.ICCT'S MARINE PROGRAM WORKS TO FURTHER POLICIES THAT ADDRESS THE AIR-QUALITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS OF SHIPPING AT THE INTERNATIONAL, REGIONAL, NATIONAL, AND LOCAL (PORT) LEVELS. ICCT RESEARCH HAS INFORMED THE INTERNATIONAL MARITIME ORGANIZATION'SMARINE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION COMMITTEE(MEPC) WORK ON POLICIES TO REDUCE AIR POLLUTION AND GREENHOUSE GASES FROM INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING THAT INCLUDE DEVELOPMENT OF EMISSION CONTROL AREAS (ECAS),ENERGY EFFICIENCY DESIGN INDEX (EEDI)TARGETS FOR NEW VESSELS, CONTROLS FORBLACK CARBON EMISSIONS, AND IMO'S COMPREHENSIVE GHG REDUCTION STRATEGY. ICCT'S ONGOING WORK ON AIR POLLUTION AND HEAVY FUEL OIL (HFO) USE IN ARCTIC SHIPPING IS BUILDING A DATA-DRIVEN ARGUMENT FOR POLICY PROGRESS AT BOTH IMO AND THE ARCTIC COUNCIL. AND THE CUSTOM EMISSIONS INVENTORY TOOLS ICCT RESEARCHERS HAVE DEVELOPEDFROM SATELLITE AUTOMATIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (S-AIS) OPERATIONS DATA ARE FUNDAMENTALLY STRENGTHENING THE EVIDENCE BASE AVAILABLE TO NATIONAL AND LOCAL POLICYMAKERS COMMITTED TO REDUCING AIR POLLUTION IN COASTAL AREAS, MOST NOTABLY IN CHINA.
