Assessing Improvement in the Energy Efficiency of the U.S. Auto Assembly Plants

Last Updated: 
12-13-2016

This 12-page paper describes the voluntary ENERGY STAR program policy approach selected to engage and motivate the automobile manufacturing industry to improve its energy performance, and the results of the industry’s efforts to advance energy management as measured by the updated EPI. Most notably, the paper shows that electricity use per vehicle in the best plants improved by 2 percent, while the fuel use per vehicle improved by a dramatic 12 percent.

Development of a Performance-based Industrial Energy Efficiency Indicator for Automobile Assembly Plants

Last Updated: 
11-21-2016

This report describes the work of EPA and the automobile manufacturing industry to develop an Energy Performance Indicator (EPI) for assembly plants. These types of plants are defined as those that produce passenger cars, light-duty trucks, sport utility vehicles, and vans in the United States. Learn how EPA uses EPIs to encourage industries to voluntarily improve their energy use. The report describes the data and statistical methods used to construct the EPI for automobile assembly plants. The equations are presented with instructions for using them in an associated Excel spreadsheet.
