| Summary: | It was five years ago that Iranian government implemented various policies and
programs such as applying quote on petrol consumption and changing the policies of
subsidizing of petrol for optimization of fuel consumption in the transportation sector.
At this time more than 58.4% of the total amount of oil products is consumed in the
transportation section. The light duty vehicles consume around 56.5% of the fuel in
transportation sector in Iran. Fuel saving initiatives such as the fuel economy standards
and labels program for motor vehicles in transportation section has been applied in
many developed countries around the world.
In This study all the efforts are putted to grow a fuel economy standards
program according to survey data from motor vehicles in transportation sector in Iran. A
fuel economy label for Iranian cars is also built up to make sure that consumers are
conscious concerning the fuel consumption of motor vehicles and will facilitate for
easier evaluation among automobiles. And as a foundation of the fuel economy
standards programs, a test procedure is chosen from present procedures to measure
motor vehicles fuel consumption especially for motor vehicles which are locally
produced. This research has also investigated the influence of executing the fuel
economy standards and labels program from the perception of the fuel savings,
economic savings and in addition the influence on the environment.
The number of light duty vehicles in Iran has swiftly increased from
approximately 3 million in 1998 to 8.7 million in 2008. Because of this growing
quantity of motor vehicles in the country, lots of profit will come for the society as well
as the environment by implementing of the fuel economy standards and labels program.
By execution of the program around 23.9 billion liters of fuel is expected to be saved
from 2013 to 2018. This means savings about 167,781 billion Rials in the bill and
decrease of approximately 46.2 million tons of carbon dioxide emission. |
