II-4. Energy Conservation Measures for the Transportation Sector
Promotion of Cars with the "Idling-Stop" System
  • Idle-free driving can improve fuel economy by approximately 10%.
    An even greater energy conservation effect is expected in urban areas, where car stopping frequency is high.
  • Partial subsidy for the purchase of cars equipped with the "idling-stop" system was introduced in FY2003.
  • Promotional campaigns for "idling-stop" systems are held in the form of PR events, etc.
Result of the driving experiments by "idling-stop"cars PR activities
Results of "The Idling-Stop 2002 Caravan Throughout Japan"
Nationwide (3719km)...5.8% on average
Or 13.4% in city areas
[Stop & “idling-stop” implementation time ratio in urban area] 		An event for "idling-stop-at-stoplight" experiments is scheduled for October 2005 Idling-free promotional event (Osaka)

II-4. Energy Conservation Measures for the Transportation Sector
Fuel Economy Disclosure and Labeling System for Vehicles
  • The system was introduced in January 2004 to deepen consumer interest/understanding regarding fuel economy, and promote cars with high fuel performance.
    • Disclose Fuel Economy Performance
      • Disclosure is targeted for cars of which fuel economy standards are set based on the energy conservation law.
        Either the status of "fully compliant" or "plus 5% of the fuel economy standard" will be publicly displayed.
    • Label a Fuel Economy Identifiable Sticker
      • Label a sticker on the body of a car that conforms either to "fully compliant with the fuel economy standard" or "plus 5% of the fuel economy standard."
II-5. Development of Energy Conservation Technologies
Main Research and Development Projects for Energy Conservation
  • Cross-sector
    • Strategic development projects for technologies for rational use of energy
      In order to achieve a technological breakthrough that helps promote energy conservation in the industrial sector, commercial/residential sector, and transportation sectors respectively, research and development projects focusing on energy conservation shall be systematized and research and development of higher repercussion effects and higher investment efficiency shall be prioritized.
  • Industrial sector
    • Research and development of energy efficient chemical processes
  • Commercial/residential sector
    • Research and development of next-generation highly energy-efficient displays
    • Research and development of energy efficient highly energy-efficient semiconductor devices
  • Transportation sector
    • Research and development of lightweight automotives and aircraft
-Fueling Asia- Japanfs Cooperation Initiative
for Clean Energy and Sustainable Growth
As energy demand is expected to increase rapidly in East Asia, Japan, on the occasion of the Second East Asia Summit, announces its cooperation package aimed at enhancing energy security in the region, as follows:
  1. Promotion of Energy Efficiency and Conservation
    • Receive 1,000 trainees from and dispatch 500 experts to EAS member countries in 5 years, with a view to promoting establishment of programs and systems for energy conservation in each country.
    • Establish "Asia Energy Conservation Collaboration Center" as a one-stop window for information on energy conservation.
    • Make full use of yen loan assistance and JBIC loan facility such as investment loans in the field of energy efficiency and conservation. As energy demand is expected to increase rapidly in East Asia, Japan, on the occasion of the Second East Asia Summit, announces its cooperation package aimed at enhancing energy security in the region, as follows:
  2. Promotion of Biomass Energy
  3. Clean Use of Coal
  4. Eradication of Energy Poverty
Energy Conservation Cooperation
between India and Japan
  • India-Japan Energy Forum （Dec，2006）
    • Dr. Mathur, DG of BEE chaired the energy efficiency session.
  • The PM of India Dr. Singh visited Japan （Dec，2006）
    • Joint Statement Towards India-Japan Strategic and Global Partnership
      • Promote energy efficiency
      • Launch India-Japan Energy Dialogue which includes Energy Efficiency Working Group
