Purem by Eberspaecher introduces efficient exhaust technology for hydrogen engines

Green Car Congress

Purem by Eberspaecher is introducing efficient exhaust technology for hydrogen engines. At the Hannover Messe, the company will be presenting its H 2 -ICE exhaust system for the first time. The H 2 -ICE exhaust system for hydrogen engines from Purem by Eberspaecher. These systems are now being adapted to the CO 2 -neutral fuel.

New Emissions Analytics study suggests pollution from tire wear now 1,850 times worse than exhaust emissions

Green Car Congress

In early 2020, UK-based independent testing firm Emissions Analytics published a study claiming that tire particulate wear emissions were 1,000 times worse than exhaust emissions ( earlier post ). As a result, distance-specific mass and number emissions can be derived, which can then be compared to equivalent tire metrics.

Empa and partners exploring DME as fuel with new heavy-duty test engine

Green Car Congress

In cooperation with a major European supplier, a new oil-lubricated common-rail pump had therefore been developed. An electrically driven compressor for precise exhaust gas recirculation is also used. Then we modify the timing and pressure of the injection, among other things, and look at exhaust emission values and fuel consumption.

Bentley ending production of iconic W12 engine with the most powerful version ever

Green Car Congress

Initially this was through evolution and optimization of the control systems, improvements in the oil and cooling designs, turbocharging technology and more effective injection and combustion processes. The second cools the engine block and oil system, while the third handles the thermal load of the turbochargers.
