We released a new version of the report about 2 weeks ago. The current report supersedes the data in previous reports, so we would strongly prefer that you use the newest report. You can download the new report, and the report tables here: https://www.epa.gov/fuel-economytrends The tables in section 9 divide all new vehicles into cars and trucks. Throughout the report, "trucks" are the vehicles that meet the regulatory definition of trucks. This generally means pickup trucks, vans, minivans, larger SUVs, and some smaller SUVs that are 4WD. There's more information about the regulatory definitions that vehicles must meet to be considered a truck in section 10.H of the Trends report (see page 144). The "car" class generally includes sedans, wagons, and smaller 2wd SUV. Figure 3.2 in the report shows this basic breakdown: fpsS The overall numbers are a market average. Manufacturers report the total production of vehicles, by model year, to EPA and this is the data we use for compliance calculations and the Trends report. These numbers might differ slightly from the annual sales values often cited in the press. Best, Tricia Tricia Lynn Office of Public Affairs U.S. EPA Sierra Club v.

We are hoping to get a response by COB tomorrow, so we can meet our editorial deadline, though the piece won't public for a couple weeks. We don't need a laundry list of all the car makes, we just want to know what general types were included in the figure. For instance, were SUVs and trucks included along with cars/sedans? Many thanks, Kelsey On Thu, Jan 25, 2018 at 4:23 PM, Daguillard, Robert <Daguillard.Robert@epa.gov> wrote: j Good afternoon Kelsey, and thanks for reaching out. What is your deadline?

Dear Robert, I hope your 2018 is off to a great start! Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 13 ED 002061 00006548-00002 I have a quick question for you regarding an infographic I'm working on about fuel efficiency for National Geographic. I used the EPA data for the Car (tab "Section 9"), see attached or in this link : https://www.epa.gov/fuel-eeonomv-trends/download-co2-and-fuel-economv-trends-report-1975-2016 It doesn't specify the type of car, but it seems, for the rest of the file, an average of the cars m the market for every year. Is that the case with this stat? We want to be able to indicate what kind of cars it includes (i.e. cars, trucks, market average). Many thanks in advance for your help and I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
