A partnership of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Transport Forum (ITF) and FIA Foundation is launching the Global Fuel Economy Initiative (GFEI) at the upcoming Geneva motor show.

The “50 by 50” effort calls for cars worldwide to be made 50% more fuel efficient by 2050, with interim targets.

The global vehicle parc is predicted to triple by 2050.
