The emissions factors for diesel vehicles vary widely, and use of a catalyzed diesel particle filter (CDP...doi:10.1021/acs.energyfuels.7b01446Hays, Michael D.Preston, WilliamGeorge, Barbara J.George, Ingrid J.Snow, RichardFaircloth, James...
To overcome that, prices for new electric trucks should be no more than 30% higher than for diesel models, McKinsey said, which would require a technological leap in batteries. For successful implementation of the EU’s CO2 strategy, a 25% cut in charging costs is also needed, the study s...
Into that mix, BYD dropped another sweet piece of tech — Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) — that really takes these trucks to the next level. Can you plug a diesel truck into your business and power it for 20 days in the event of a power outage? Didn’t think so. What about emergency respo...
reducing up to 100 tonnes of carbon per year compared to a regular diesel truck. And there are other benefits too. Not only is the electric truck far less polluting, it’s also much quieter than a diesel-powered vehicle – good for the environment and for drivers’ working...
According to the data from portable emission measurement systems (PEMS), no statistical reductions are observed in the real-world NOx emissions for diesel trucks from China I to China III standards, although the emission limits are tighter (Wu et al., 2016). As a result, the gap between ...
“The rule establishes many new challenges for manufacturers and suppliers but also ensures diesel’s place in the future for trucking,” saidDiesel Technology ForumExecutive Director Allen Schaeffer in a statement. Schaeffer also pointed out that the current generation ...
Daimler Trucks is rapidly ramping down its internal-combustion-engine development as it puts more research and development investments into its dual-focus zero-emissions strategy of both battery-electric and fuel-cell-electric commercial vehicles.
Margo Oge, a former director of the EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, said medium and heavy diesel trucks make up less than 6% of vehicles on the road "but spew more than half the smog and soot Americans breathe" and contribute to global warming. The EPA standards "are a...
The Environmental Protection Agency has set strict emissions standards for heavy-duty trucks, buses and other large vehicles.
How do you make a diesel engine more efficient? One answer may surprise you: Run it on gasoline. That's what researchers at Sweden's Lund University are doing, and they believe this combination could cut both fuel use and emissions in heavy-duty trucks. ...
