EEA finds only mixed progress for Europe’s transport sector in meeting environment, climate goals; GHG emissions up 25% since 1990

Green Car Congress

Issues covered in the briefing include emissions, air pollution, noise and renewable energy and the impact of transport on ecosystems and biodiversity. It also continues to be a significant source of harmful air pollution, especially through emissions of nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter. Air pollution. in 2015 to 7.1%

ICCT study confirms feasibility of implementing IMO Tier III NOx standards using SCR; fuel efficiency gains as well

Green Car Congress

Annex VI of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL 73/78) introduced a stepwise approach to the reduction of emissions of NOx from new marine vessels. That amendment will be considered at MEPC-66 in April 2014. sulfur fuel that will be made available in sulfur emission control areas.

Winterkorn says Volkswagen developing 10-speed DCT and high-performance diesel; plug-in hybrids offer great potential

Green Car Congress

The Volkswagen Group intends to launch at least 6 new plug-in hybrid models starting in 2014 and beyond. Since 2000, the group has reduced the fuel consumption of its TDI and TSI engines by more than 30%. Among alternative drive systems, plug-in hybrids in particular offer great potential, Winterkorn said. Earlier post.).

California ARB Seeks Further Reductions of Diesel Emissions at State Rail Yards

Green Car Congress

Diesel exhaust contains a variety of harmful gases and more than 40 other known cancer-causing substances. In 2000, the ARB established California’s Diesel Risk Reduction Plan, which aims to reduce diesel emissions to 85% below 2000 levels by 2020. NO x helps create ground-level ozone, or smog.

ICCT study finds real-world NOx emissions from Euro 6 diesels ~7x higher than Euro 6 regulatory levels

Green Car Congress

The permissible limit for NO x emissions from diesel cars declined from 500 milligrams per kilometer (mg/km) under Euro 3 (effective January 2000) to 80 mg/ km under Euro 6 (effective September 2014). From September 2014 on, the Euro 6 standard applies to all new passenger car types. Source: ICCT. Click to enlarge.

Achates OPGCI project targeting 50% fuel efficiency gains over downsized GDI engine at reduced cost

Green Car Congress

At idle and low loads, rebreathing of hot exhaust gases provided stable compression ignition with very low engine-out NO x and PM emissions. Rebreathing enabled reduced boost pressure, while greatly increasing exhaust temperature. bar was measured at 2000 rpm, with 17.4 MAP was reduced to minimize boost parasitics.
