Transportation Annual Technology Baseline Data

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Annual Technology Baseline (ATB) data contains detailed cost and performance data (both current and projected) that are periodically updated.

Before downloading the ATB data, read the disclaimer agreement and this guide to technical limitations.

For convenience, the transportation data used on this website are provided in the following .zip archive, which is organized into "input" and "output" folders.

We also provide Tableau workbooks that are used for all the visualizations on the site:

A major source of the 2024 Transportation ATB vehicles and emissions data is Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), which develops and applies the Autonomie simulation tool and Research & Development Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Technologies (R&D GREET) model (Wang et al., 2023). Links to data from the ANL report (Islam et al., 2023) on modeled vehicle price and fuel economy are available here.

Tableau Workbook

View a Tableau workbook to further explore the data, including LCOD and emissions estimates with additional fuel pathways. Use the tabs at the top to switch between different dashboards. The "All Pathways" dashboards allow you view each vehicle/fuel combination in its own chart, colored by ATB scenario. The "Parity" dashboards are similar, except all vehicle/fuel combinations will appear in the same chart, colored by powertrain, to better facilitate comparisons. There are two versions of each chart type, where the "No PHEV" versions are missing plug-in hybrid vehicles but are simpler to navigate because they have fewer filters.

2024 Transportation ATB Webinar

The 2024 Transportation Annual Technology Baseline Update Webinar will be held on December 3 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time. During the webinar, the ATB team reviewed the 2024 updates and answered questions from attendees. To learn more, attend the webinar or view the webinar recording and presentation slides.
