T-1B1a-8 - Improved light truck engine technology

TBD

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: TBD.

Improved vehicle and engine technology can reduce emissions from fossil-fueled vans and trucks. This shift can help reduce emissions in the short term, until zero-emission technologies reach their full potential.
