Description

Description The Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles (PCFV) is the leading global public-private initiative to promote cleaner fuels and vehicles in developing and transition countries. The PCFV brings together 72 organizations representing developed and developing countries, the fuel and vehicle industries, civil society, and leading world experts on cleaner fuels and vehicles. Our partners combine their resources and efforts to achieve cleaner air and lower greenhouse gas emissions from road transport by applying fuel quality improvements and proven vehicle technologies in use in leading global auto markets.

The PCFV provides a range of technical, financial and networking support for governments and other stakeholders to reduce vehicle emissions, namely fine particulate matter, carbon monoxide, black carbon and nitrogen oxides, and improve fuel economy.

Objectives Following the successful ten-year campaign to end the use of leaded petrol on a global scale, the PCFV was re-launched in October 2012 in London with a renewed focus on 1) lead (global elimination in the 6 remaining countries using leaded petrol); 2) sulphur (lower sulphur levels in fuels, by improving refinery technology and/or fuel import standards).

No further quantified targets stated.

Activities - Low sulphur fuels are critical to lowering direct emissions of particulate matter from on-road traffic (that are of great concern due to their health impacts) and black carbon emissions (an important climate pollutant).

- Support of developing countries in their efforts to improve fuel and vehicle technologies to maintain clean air - Generate educational programmes, and awareness campaigns; adapt economic and planning tools for clean fuels and vehicles analyses in local
