Kevin Green, Chief – CAFE Program Office, has been confirmed as a speaker in the Powertrain Innovation stream at Automotive Megatrends USA 2015, which takes place on 17 March 2015.
Green has spent more than two decades working on policies and programmes involving transportation-related fuel use and emissions.
Since 2001, Green has been leading analytical work supporting the development of new DOT CAFE standards. Relying on this work, NHTSA was able in 2006 and 2009 to make the first major changes to CAFE standards since the inception of the programme in the 1970s, the replacement of long-standing flat standards with new attribute-based standards.
Green played a significant role in recommending options and informing decisions regarding these structural changes to the programme, changes intended to more equitably balance compliance challenges among manufacturers, and reduce the potential to induce vehicle downsizing that could compromise highway safety.
Green led the analytical team supporting each subsequent round of standards, including those for model years 2017-2025.
