California ARB holding two workshops on developing measure to reduce emissions from TRUs

Green Car Congress

To that end, ARB staff is holding two more workshops on the development of a regulation to limit the amount of time that internal combustion engine-driven TRUs and TRU gensets operate while stationary, as well as requiring an overall zero-emission mode operating time. Background. NO x : 6,100 tons per year.

High Performance Computing key enabler for accelerating development of high efficiency engines

Green Car Congress

In an effort to reliably predict efficiency and pollutant emissions for new engines and fuels, computer simulations are used to study fundamental turbulence-chemistry interactions. Fuel sprays set the initial conditions for combustion in essentially all future transportation engines, the workshop noted. —PreSICE workshop report.

But theyve needed definitive proof that PHEVs wont increase pollution. CA, NY, MA and other states have had Zero-Emission Vehicle programs since the early 1990s because battery electric vehicles in those states, taking into account power plants, are far cleaner than gasoline cars in reducing urban air pollution and smog.
