The continuous rise in global prices of crude oil, increasing threat to environment due to exhaust emissions, the problem of global warming and the threat of supply fuel oil instabilities have adversely impacted the developing countries, more so to the petroleum importing countries like India. From...
Rising oil prices continued to put upwards pressure on the index in August. Petrol prices rose 19.8 per cent from a year earlier while diesel fuel prices jumped 22 per cent, as a weaker yuan raised the price of US dollar-denominated oil and oil product imports. Chinese core inflation, which...
UPS manages a fleet that includes more than 1,000 electric and hybrid electric vehicles, as part of its “Rolling Laboratory” of approximately 9,300 alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles. Moving from diesel to electricity is one way the company is working toward its goals of reducing...
Renewable diesel (Hydrotreated vegetable oil or green diesel), a biomass-derived fuel, which is suitable for use in diesel engines. It can be produced from various biomass sources such as lipids (such as vegetable oils, animal fats, greases, and algae) and cellulosic material (such as crop r...
Now, petrol and diesel fuel prices also vary, but never by a factor of 5x. Never. On top of that, there's a whole range of proprietary (and mutually incompatible) chargers, and of course, you need an "app" to use many of them, because too many executives perceive EVs as phones on...
Buzzard has been the largest producing UK field for this century, has exceeded expectations and continues to produce at the high end of recent estimates. A new development, Buzzard II, was due to start in 2020 but has been delayed by at least a year because of the price crash. It wil...
Given the higher fuel economy of diesels (compared to gasoline vehicles), the reduced diesel sales makes the target even harder to achieve. It is evident that a significant uptake of advanced ICE technologies, hybridization and full electrification is imperative to meet the future limits. Recent ...
With its 6.2-liter V-8 and I-6 diesel engines, and 10-speed transmission, the steep price is well justified. This machine also comes with some impressively techy features like a 38 inch OLED display screen, AR navigation system, night vision, and more. ...
reducing waste in the long term. The advantages of fuel cells speak for themselves. The only challenge for the customer is the large sums of money that need to be invested in the required infrastructure. At KION, we are continuing our research into hydrogen energy, because we know that...
their first demonstration plant in Corpus Christi, where they’re turning waste CO2 and renewable energy into electrofuels—or eFuels—for trucks. They’ve already signed a deal with Amazon, and sometime soon, if you live in the area, you might get a delivery supported by Infinium eDiesel....
