in recent times, the significance of advancing road transportation technologies has notably increased. this is mainly driven by the escalating need for road transportation systems that are not only safe but also environmentally sustainable. moreover, enhancing fuel efficiency in road vehicles (i.e., automobiles) holds the potential to contribute significantly to the reduction of a country’s economic vulnerability (i.e., improved energy security), by reducing the reliance on energy imports. while research reports and scientific journals provide valuable information on automobile fuel consumption, it is essential to continually update our understanding of the factors that influence it. this document aims to review and describe the various factors, both direct and indirect, that play a role in an automotive’s overall energy efficiency and fuel consumption.

china and india, the world's two most populous developing economies, are also among the world's largest automotive markets and carbon emitters. to reduce carbon emissions from the passenger car sector, both countries have considered various policy levers affecting fuel prices, car prices and fuel economy. this study estimates the responsiveness of new car buyers in china and india to such policy levers and drivers including income. furthermore, we estimate the potential for rebound effect and the effectiveness of a feebate policy. to accomplish this, we developed a joint discrete-continuous model of car choice and usage based on revealed preference survey data from approximately 8000 new car buyers from india and china who purchased cars in 2016-17. conditional on buying a new car, the fuel consumption in both markets is found to be relatively unresponsive to fuel price and income, with magnitudes of elasticity estimates ranging from 0.12 to 0.15. for both markets, the mean segment-level direct elasticities of fuel consumption relative to car price and fuel economy range from 0.57 to 0.65. the rebound effect on fuel savings due to cost-free fuel economy improvement is found to be 17.1% for india and 18.8% for china. a revenue-neutral feebate policy, with average rebates and fees of up to around 15% of the retail price, resulted in fuel savings of around 0.7% for both markets. while the feebate policy's rebound effect is low - 7.3% for india and 1.6% for china - it does not appear to be an effective fuel conservation policy.
