EU investing >€3M in research into ultra-efficient aero engines; ULTIMATE project

Green Car Congress

Europe’s Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA 2050) outlines a 75% reduction in aviation CO 2 emissions to year 2050 relative to a year 2000 reference. The EU is targeting a 75% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions per passenger kilometer between the years 2000 and 2050. Core exhaust loss. Click to enlarge.

Deret Transport running 22 Canter Eco Hybrids in fleet; 25% reduction in fuel consumption

Green Car Congress

The Fuso Canter Eco Hybrid, which was unveiled at the International Motor Show in Hanover in September 2012, is the first series production hybrid light-duty truck in Europe. During the day, only trucks with gas engines and with exhaust systems complying with the Euro VI standard or higher are permitted.

SwRI D-EGR gasoline demo vehicle delivers diesel efficiency at lower cost; potential for LEV III/Tier 3 emissions

Green Car Congress

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) announced preliminary test results of its Dedicated-Exhaust Gas Recirculation (D-EGR) demonstration vehicle ( earlier post ) at the SAE 2014 World Congress in Detroit. D-EGR brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) at 2000 rpm 2 bar BMEP dropped 14.3% Hydrogen-enriched exhaust is routed to the intake.

Promising Delphi 1st-gen Gasoline Direct Injection Compression Ignition engine meeting ultra fuel efficient program targets

Green Car Congress

Throughout the world, many efforts are being made to improve the thermal efficiency of internal combustion engines. Due to the lower exhaust enthalpy of lower temperature engines using PPCI, it is difficult to produce intake boost with acceptable boost system parasitis. BSFC of 280 g/kWh was measured at 2000 rpm-2bar BMEP.

Perspective: Regional Greenhouse Gas Cap-and-Trade Programs May be the Solution

Green Car Congress

That agreement calls for a program that will cover nearly 90 percent of the region’s greenhouse gas emissions when it is fully implemented (commonly referred to as an economy-wide program). To be credible, as noted above, an offset should equate to an emission reduction from a direct emission source, such as a smokestack or exhaust pipe.
