Whereas fuel cost used to be a major driver for fleet managers, the lowering of oil prices and the availability of low-cost natural gas has reduced this concern, Navigant notes. Medium- and heavy-trucks represent 4.3% of vehicles in the US, drive 9.3% —“ Medium and Heavy Duty Vehicle Technologies ”.

As the engine does not have poppet valves and the gas is fully expanded before the exhaust stroke starts, the engine also has potential to be quiet. This is done by changing the locations of intake and exhaust ports asymmetrically which allows for the extraction of more energy during the expansion stroke.). —Shkolnik et al.

Achates has demonstrated the ability to achieve exceptionally high exhaust gas temperatures at idle—much beyond what can be done with equivalent 4-stroke engines. The intake ports at one end of the cylinder and exhaust ports at the other are opened by the piston motion and enable efficient uniflow air scavenging. Earlier post.).

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The convenience and low cost of this concept alone merit attention. For such a low average total energy usage, the PHEV can be charged at a low level of 1 kW to 2 kW from the electric grid.

Emitters will generally consider their costs of reducing emissions to the level required by their current holdings of allowances, and compare this with the market price of allowances.
