history
The organization was founded in Delaware in May 2005 . It originated in an international meeting of regulators and experts in Bellagio in 2001 .
It gained greater awareness in September 2015 when the VW emissions scandal was uncovered . The ICCT, together with West Virginia University , had measured emissions of a VW Passat Diesel and a VW Jetta Diesel on the road, instead of in the laboratory as usual, with nitrogen oxide emissions well above the permissible maximum values. His advice to US environmental authorities in this regard ultimately led to the uncovering of the scandal.
financing
The organization names the ClimateWorks Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation , the Energy Foundation and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation as major financiers .
