Suzuki is no longer here.
When we say we're part of the solution, I'm speaking from an industry-wide perspective. All automakers are investing tremendous amounts of money in new technologies to improve fuel economy, reduce CO2 emissions, and reduce other smog-related emissions at the same time.
It's the entire industry that's working towards this. The entire industry is probably one of the most technologically advanced, green-technology industries that exists. For instance, in the 2017-25 GHG emission regulations for light-duty vehicles, we are spending over $200 billion in new technology investments, $100 billion of which is probably going directly into electric vehicle development. You will see much more of that going forward.
Year over year, fuel economy or fuel efficiency improvements are roughly 3% to 5%. They used to be 1% to 1.2%. That's changing the entire profile, if you will, of new vehicle fuel efficiency. That will deliver about a 266 million tonne reduction in GHG emissions from the light-duty fleet between now and 2025—and beyond, actually, because these vehicles are going to be on the road much longer.
By virtue of those investments in technological advancements, we are making significant reductions in those emissions. On top of that, we now have what we call electrification taking place in our industry. That includes not just the vehicle itself, but also vehicle-to-vehicle connectivity and vehicle-to-infrastructure connectivity. These are all things that are ultimately going to help reduce congestion and move vehicles more effectively in terms of constant speeds and safer operations because they will communicate with one another.
We recently had Transport Canada officials in Detroit to look at those very technologies. I'm not going to speak for them, but I can tell you what they thought. They thought it was mind-boggling just how quickly this technology is taking place. Whether it be lightweight materials, mobile communications, sensors, software, artificial intelligence, analytics, advanced battery technologies, these are all things that we as an industry—I'm speaking of all manufacturers now—are contributing to the global change equation.
