HEI ACES study of lifetime animal exposure to New Technology Diesel Engine exhaust finds no lung cancer

Green Car Congress

exhaust from heavy-duty diesel engines meeting EPA 2007 and later emissions requirements—has found no evidence of carcinogenic lung tumors. The study exposed laboratory rats 80 hours a week, for up to 30 months, to emissions from a heavy-duty diesel engine meeting 2007 US EPA standards using new filters and other control technology.

INRIX analysis identifies top 10 US cities for highly autonomous vehicles; prioritizing corridors for deployment

Green Car Congress

Albuquerque. The deployment of highly autonomous vehicles (HAVs) is expected to deliver substantial benefits: reduced traffic congestion, decreased emissions, lower-cost of mobility and safer travel. Without smart planning, this technology could clog roads, increase pollution and further stratify mobility options. New Orleans.

Study Claims EVs Will Not Save the Environment, All Cars Are Bad

The Truth About Cars

Concepts like ultra-low emission zones (ULEZ) and levering connected vehicle technologies to police driving from an environmental and social standpoint are rooted in the key principles of Vision Zero. Meanwhile, EVs will likely increase specific forms of air pollution (e.g. These are conservative estimates, he and his co-authors write.

First results from HEI/ACES murine study find few biologic effects from exposure to exhaust from new technology diesel engines

Green Car Congress

The study—a component of the Advanced Collaborative Engine Study (ACES)—is exposing rats and mice for 16 hours a day to emissions from a heavy duty diesel engine meeting 2007 US EPA standards that reduce emissions of fine particles and other pollutants by more than 90% from levels emitted by older engines.
