GREEN VEHICLE INDEX PROJECT
The overall aim of the Green Vehicle Index (GVI) project is to orient the consumer towards the most energy-efficient and low-polluting vehicle by providing understandable information.
Uniresearch was hired by IDIADA and FIA region I as coordinating parties to write the proposal in two stages. This proposal started in Jan 2018, whereas the second stage of the proposal was submitted in Sept 2018. The proposal was successful evaluated and the project started 1st of June 2019.
The Green Vehicle Index (GVI) Project will provide a scoring methodology to complement pass-fail information and independently assess the full environmental performance of a vehicle in the most comprehensive manner. Most importantly, this will enable consumers to make purchases based on environmental considerations in an easy and objective fashion. At the same time, transparency will be maximised by making detailed test results available to experts and consumers. This is of paramount importance, helping to address concerns raised on the regulatory side, as well as on data made available by the industry. The results of this project is direct input into the Green NCAP.
The project consortium consists of fourteen (14) partners.
