Light Vehicle Attributes for GPRA 2004 Benefits Modeling

The vehicle attributes for the car and light truck technologies were based on the Office of FreedomCAR and Vehicle Technologies program goals and discussions with transportation program managers. They represent the best estimates available at the time of the modeling (summer of 2002). These attributes have been documented for the past several years and continue to be refined each year, as necessary. The table below contains the attribute values used for the 2004 GPRA transportation program modeling. The values shown in the table are ratios relative to a conventional ICE of the same type.
