Introducing Measures, Pathways and Roadmaps for Optimizing Vehicle Efficiency and Electrification (IMPROVE)

The core mobility challenges of our time are to accelerate the phasing out of combustion engines, the transition to electric vehicles and to increase energy efficiency. The project supports newly industrialising and developing countries to reduce the average greenhouse gas emissions of newly registered or imported vehicles by 2030 compared to a reference scenario (Business as Usual, BAU) and thus contribute to the Paris Agreement. It develops necessary regulations and policies and coordinates them with partners in four countries. For this purpose the projects collects and analyses mobility and vehicle data, develops and evaluates regulatory proposals and supports corresponding coordination procedures. The project actively promotes international learning and cooperation with global initiatives to build momentum for the transition to zero emission mobility built internationally.
