Balance risk with reward in the pursuit of regulatory compliance and vehicle performance.
What are my competitors doing with future powertrain options? Which technologies offer the best efficiency returns? If we miss our fleet's fuel economy and CO2 target, what’s the penalty?
Global vehicle development has become increasingly challenging, polarizing, and politically charged. Manufacturers need to navigate with growing urgency in an increasingly complex landscape. The result is a mixture of complex decision-making and the need to accurately anticipate the adoption of vehicle energy management technology. To balance the politics of regulation with customer acceptance for fuel efficiency technology, internal OEM and supplier departments will need to effectively collaborate more than ever before to achieve the 'Perfect Compromise' of efficiency, emissions, performance, and compliance.
The Vehicle Performance & Compliance Monitor (VPaC) is a cloud-based web portal providing access to a twelve-year forecast for CO2 emissions, fuel consumption and acceleration performance for more than 60,000 vehicle-powertrain combinations – including 260-plus attributes per vehicle – across the United States, EU, China and Brazil. From visualizing how an OEM’s fleet will evolve in terms of CO2 performance, to judging who is likely to strike the critical balance between performance and emissions across brands, to identifying distressed OEMs to target, VPaC is a one-stop shop that gives OEMs and suppliers insight into vehicle performance and compliance for the entire market. No other offering features this breadth of information, speed of research results, technical rigor, competitive intelligence or cloud-based flexibility.
