How to Calculate the CO2 emissions of your ocean freightMaking emissions visible – Kuehne+Nagel’s Global Sea Logistics Carbon Calculator is an essential tool for CO2 transparency in shipping.Link copied As consumers become more aware of their carbon footprint, there is a growing demand for ...
This work focuses on the electric drive option for heavy and light duty vehicle freight transport. In this study, fuel cell-electric vehicles, battery-electric vehicles and overhead catenary line trucks were investigated, taking a closer look at their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions ...
Over 20% of PM emissions in the U.S. Autonomous freight potentially makes a big impact through carefully structured driving efficiencies in which routes, speed, and deviations can be carefully controlled. However, we're still a ways from seeing fully autonomous trucks in regular freight use on ...
At first sight, electric cars are completely green cars: sometimes they're even referred to as ZEVs (zero-emission vehicles)—and the official fueleconomy.gov website actually quotes zero grams of CO2 emissions per mile for most electric cars. [2] Now while it's true that the car itself ...
Remember that when cars are left running for extended periods of time, the idling causes premature wear and increases fuel consumption and emissions. Generally, the less amount of time left idling the better, and it’s more beneficial to give the engine a few seconds after startup to circulate...
Boston University has been collecting the data used in this map for the past 38 years by using federal traffic data to calculate the emissions. The Times then added in the population data to arrive at the per-capita numbers. This content is imported from poll. You may be able to find ...
There are a couple of key characteristics that make Stirling engines impractical for use in many applications, including in most cars and trucks. Because the heat source is external, it takes a little while for the engine to respond to changes in the amount of heat being applied to the cylin...
Turbos are fundamental to addressing the auto industry’s most pressing challenges. They dramatically improve combustion process efficiency, enhance vehicle performance and help reduce emissions. No wonder more than 140 million Garrett turbos currently boost cars and trucks around the world. Please a...
EVs have impressive performance, low running costs, and don’t produce tailpipe emissions. But why are they so efficient? EVs directly convert electricity into movement, whereas an internal combustion engine vehicle burns fuel to produce heat to create propulsion. This allows EVs to be 70% more...
Solar panels not only generate electricity for immediate use but also help maintain the charge ofonboard work truck auxiliary batteries. Work trucks often utilize batteries to power auxiliary equipment and accessories, such as lighting, communication devices, and hydraulic systems. By continuously...
