Welcome to the 120g/km-Campaign!

Inspired by a great presentation by Martin Unfried, European Institute of Public Administration Maastricht, a few weeks ago at a 1-day climate summit in Berlin this wiki has evolved. The presentation can be seen on Youtube (in German though):

The goal for 2012 in the European Community (elsewhere similar?) is reaching 120g/km.

How shall we and the auto industry reach that goal? Seems pretty unreachable, as we see so many big cars around with well over 200g CO2/km. Time delays implementing sufficient technology and develop new cars will play definitely a major role.

Starting as early as possible and showing the public what is already feasible today is what is driving the growing market and customer pull for cars with well under 120g CO2/km. It will be a SLOW start which -once the growth takes place- will make the change a success (also for the large cars, built by Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Bentley, ...).

John D. Sterman, Professor for System Dynamics at the MIT Sloan Management School, Cambridge, is doing recently great work on the climate issues. A few months ago he has given a lecture on the diffusion of the electric car in order to achieve zero-CO2-tail-pipe-emission that can be watched here.
