Eco-innovations Credits in the proposed EU CO 2 legislation for 2012 Anders Kärrberg Executive Director Governmental Affairs Volvo Car Corporation

What is an eco-innovation? Technical innovations that reduce CO 2 outside the homologation test cycle are additional to the Commission´s list of complementary measures* give CO 2 credits at the individual car level are approved by an independent and authorized process * gear-shift indicators (GSI), energy-efficient air-conditioning (MAC), low rolling resistance tyres (LRRT), tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS)

Why credit eco-innovations? Industry innovations should not be limited by closed list of defined eco-innovations – stimulates further innovations. CO 2 reductions are reached more cost efficiently both for industry and car customer

Examples of eco-innovations

Fuel economy indicator 1 % ACEA Adaptive cruise control3-12 % Dutch study, AMS Off-cycle CO 2 reduction Source

Adaptive Cruise Control

Examples of eco-innovations Fuel economy indicator 1 % ACEA Adaptive cruise control3-12 % Dutch study, AMS Eco-mode button3-6 % ACEA Bi-Xenon or LED lights1,5 % Magneti Marelli Off-cycle CO 2 reduction Source

Reduced electrical energy consumption vs traditional bulbs, in particular in countries requiring daylight running lights Reduced heat generation -> reduced maintenance Contributes to reduce size (and weight) of the alternator LED – Light Emitting Diode

Why credit flexible fuel vehicles? Facilitates major off-cycle CO 2 reductions 30-80% w-t-w (EUCAR) 65% (EPA of Sweden) Reduces dependency on oil in transport sector (97%) Insurance against possible future oil price peaks and shortages

How to credit flexible fuel vehicles? Proposal: 5% reduction of the homologated CO 2 -value ~ technology cost for E85 Euro5 Increase to 20% when 10% of the filling stations in a country offers E85 that meets the EU sustainability criteria

Flexible fuel vehicles Market share development in Sweden 20,5% % /2004 2/20054/20056/20058/ /200512/2005 2/20064/20066/20068/ /200612/2006 2/20074/20076/20078/ /200712/2007 2/20084/2008

Benefits from flexible fuel vehicles in Sweden At current growth rate, flexible fuel cars will by 2015 annually reduce CO 2 by 2 Million tons*. Assumptions: - 50% flexfuel market share of new cars sales - 30% of the car park flexfuel capable, - with today´s car technology - with today´s 1st gen production technology for sugarcane feedstock - with today´s E85 fuel usage level - petrol cars are displaced

Benefits from flexible fuel vehicles in Sweden At current growth rate, flexible fuel cars will by 2015 annually reduce CO 2 by 2 Million tons*. Corresponding CO 2 reduction from only E10 low blending is ~ tons. Assumptions: - 50% flexfuel market share of new cars sales - 30% of the car park flexfuel capable, - with today´s car technology - with today´s 1st gen production technology for sugarcane feedstock - with today´s E85 fuel usage level.

Benefits from flexible fuel vehicles in Sweden At current growth rate, flexible fuel cars will by 2015 annually reduce CO 2 by 2 Million tons*. Corresponding CO 2 reduction from only E10 low blending is ~ tons. We should do both. Assumptions: - 50% flexfuel market share of new cars sales - 30% of the car park flexfuel capable, - with today´s car technology - with today´s 1st gen production technology for sugarcane feedstock - with today´s E85 fuel usage level.

Summary Accept the concept of eco-innovations In the proposed CO2 legislation, reward CO 2 reductions from eco-innovations by reducing certified CO 2 values at individual car level. Accept flexfuel cars as an eco-innovation Reward flexfuel cars by 5% reduction of cert CO2 20% once sustainable E85 fuel is available
