ASEAN Fuel Economy Roadmap for the Transport Sector 2018-2025: with Focus on Light-Duty Vehicles

This document provides a roadmap for the development and implementation of fuel economy policies for ASEAN Member States (AMS), aimed primarily at regulators in government agencies who are or who should be involved in fuel economy policy development. The roadmap is intended to serve as catalyser to engage all relevant stakeholders from government, industry and academia. It not only addresses experts but can also be used to inform the interested public about the issue of vehicle fuel economy.
This roadmap is meant to be used to advance fuel economy policies within the AMS, and also for AMS to venture together towards more coherent and eventually common policy approaches. It neither aims at a one-size-fits-all approach, nor does it provide country-specific proposals. Rather, it offers a policy toolbox that presents fuel economy policy measures, different data and regulatory requirements, and the steps for introducing them.
A vision, set of goals and list of recommended actions is presented as a comprehensive set of recommendations for AMS to establish and implement successful fuel economy policies, aiming for a common approach across ASEAN where possible. Furthermore, a comprehensive annex is included, with detailed information on each topic of the roadmap, such as global trends, country case studies, fuel economy policies of AMS, and related issues like clean fuels, electric mobility, two-wheelers, freight vehicles, and more.
The vision, goals and policy recommendations in this roadmap are non-binding and recognise the right of ASEAN and each AMS to develop their own goals and policies. Nevertheless, the roadmap is meant to be a guideline for future regional and national initiatives in the region.
