T-1A1a-4 - Improved car engine technology

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: M-1A-15 - Improved Energy Efficiency for Vehicles.

Improved vehicle and engine technology - as well as reduced vehicle weight - can reduce emissions from fossil-fueled cars. This shift can help reduce emissions in the short term, until e-mobility and other zero-emission transport modes reach their full potential.
