EEA finds only mixed progress for Europe’s transport sector in meeting environment, climate goals; GHG emissions up 25% since 1990

Green Car Congress

Issues covered in the briefing include emissions, air pollution, noise and renewable energy and the impact of transport on ecosystems and biodiversity. Oil consumption by the transport sector will need to fall by more than two-thirds to meet the objective of reducing consumption by 70% by 2050 compared with 2008 levels. Air pollution.

2000 (90% CI: 0–4,000) early deaths from ozone, according to the study. In a state-by-state analysis, the researchers found that California suffers the worst health impacts from air pollution, with about 21,000 early deaths annually, mostly attributed to road transportation and to commercial and residential emissions from heating and cooking.

New Fuso Canter with EcoEfficiency; up to 9% more fuel efficient; new hybrid

Green Car Congress

Engine: 2000 bar injection pressure. liter engine increase the maximum injection pressure by 25% to as much as 2000 bar. liter engine increase the maximum injection pressure by 25% to as much as 2000 bar. In the case of extreme short-distance use, low exhaust gas temperatures may make manual regeneration necessary.

The new six-cylinder in-line engine comes with an intelligent form of turbocharging: assisted by the ISG at start-off, the electric auxiliary compressor (eZV) guarantees immediate high torque when driving off and accelerating, bridging the time before the large exhaust turbocharger cuts in. Almost imperceptible restart of the engine.

The irrational argument against government intervention with EVs & ICE vehicle bans

Plug In India

Petrol heads and EV cynics can’t stand the fact that multiple governments all over the world are phasing out Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles and promoting EV’s to achieve oil independence and promote clean air for their citizens. In the early 2000's there was the “Euro 1” emission standard.

At idle and low loads, rebreathing of hot exhaust gases provided stable compression ignition with very low engine-out NO x and PM emissions. Rebreathing enabled reduced boost pressure, while greatly increasing exhaust temperature. bar was measured at 2000 rpm, with 17.4 MAP was reduced to minimize boost parasitics.

Study Concludes That to Limit Global Warming to 2 °C, Less Than 25% of Proven Fossil Fuel Reserves Can be Burnt Between Now and 2050

Green Car Congress

The researchers, involving scientists from Germany, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, concluded that the limit is 1,000 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide between the years 2000 and 2050. The world has already emitted one third of that in just nine years. —Malte Meinshausen. —Bill Hare, co-author of the study.
