To promote the development and implementation of fuel economy standards and policies across the globe.

The GFEI is working with government regulators and their partners worldwide to help them to develop measures to improve automotive fuel economy. The GFEI will continue to focus on three key areas of work policy support, outreach and research and analysis. GFEI partners support countries that account for more than 85 percent of present new vehicle sales as well as emerging countries that are experiencing rapidly rising car sales. Assistance includes the online GFEI Tool that was designed to answer basic questions about what auto fuel economy is, what governments are doing to reduce emissions, the role of technology, and how policy makers can start to promote cleaner, more efficient cars. Technical assistance also includes simulation modeling forecasts on the cost and feasibility of energy efficiency technologies. GFEI will also seek to improve global understanding of fuel economy through research, data development and modeling, in particular to help individual countries and regions to develop policy which is best suited to them. GFEI will also continue to raise awareness of the issue of fuel economy, to interact with global and regional policy development processes, and to develop working partnerships with other key stakeholders to promote this agenda also.
