The report is structured as follows: Section 1 provides an overview of Mexico’s new passenger vehicle fleet in 2012; section 2 explains the scenarios for consideration using the OMEGA model; section 3 presents the methodologies for adapting the OMEGA model to Mexico’s fleet and calculating the costs, benefits, and payback of next-phase standards; section 4 presents the results of the OMEGA modelin. [...] PASSENGER VEHICLE FLEETS Given that one of the overall objectives of this project is to assess the costs and benefits of harmonizing the second phase of the Mexican NOM-163 regulation with the EPA vehicle GHG standards, a comparison between the fleet performances is relevant. [...] SCENARIOS ANALYZED The objective of applying OMEGA to the Mexican market was to gain a precise understanding of the vehicle technologies that would be required and the costs and benefits of different regulatory scenarios for the next phase of vehicle GHG standards in Mexico. [...] This approach was followed by the EPA for the 2025-rule analysis, in that EPA assumed that in the absence of the model year 2021 GHG/FE standards, the fleets for model year 2021 would have fleetwide emissions no better than what is projected to be necessary to meet the model year 2016 GHG/FE targets; in the absence of model year 2025 GHG/FE standards, the model year 2025 fleet would have to meet m. [...] In general, the model considers these factors important to the manufacturer: the cost of the technology and the degree to which the technology moves the manufacturer toward achieving its fleetwide CO2 emission target.
