MAN Engines releases first IMO Tier III engines for workboats; low-cost, SCR-only solution

Green Car Congress

The solution ensuring compliance with the IMO Tier III limits is MAN Engines’ modular exhaust gas aftertreatment (EAT) system, which was exhibited at the SMM trade fair last year. Two of the variants that are possible due to the installation flexibility of MAN Engines’ modular exhaust gas aftertreatment system.

Study finds NYC Clean Air Taxi rules successful in cutting pollution

Green Car Congress

exhaust emissions declined by 82% and 49%, respectively. The researchers created maps to measure taxi traffic intensity across the city and used inspection and trip data to approximate taxi-related exhaust emissions of two major sources of air pollution: nitric oxide and particulate matter.

US charges Audi manager with conspiracy to cheat US emissions tests; sacrificing NOx control for a sound system

Green Car Congress

According to the complaint, from in or about 2006 until in or about November 2015, Pamio led a team of engineers responsible for designing emissions control systems to meet emissions standards, including for nitrogen oxides (NO x ), for diesel vehicles in the US. Beginning in or about 2006, Audi was designing the new 3.0

g CO 2 /km, the smallest annual decrease since 2006. While emissions from road transport are mostly exhaust emissions arising from fuel combustion, non-exhaust emissions contribute to both non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) (from fuel evaporation) and primary particulate matter (PM) (from tire- and brake-wear, and road abrasion).

Ford researchers report detailed study of the effect of different ethanol blend levels on emissions from FFVs

Green Car Congress

A team at Ford Motor Company’s Research and Innovation Center in Dearborn conducted a detailed study of the effect of ethanol blend level in emissions, using a 2006 model Mercury Grand Marquis flexible fuel vehicle (FFV) operating on E0, E10, E20, E30, E40, E55, and E80 on a chassis dynamometer. Engine-out exhaust contains typically 1?3%
