Niagara Falls Maid of the Mist vessels going battery-electric; ABB power and propulsion

Green Car Congress

Cuomo announced that Maid of the Mist, which has been navigating the waters of the Lower Niagara River since 1846, will launch later this year two new all-electric, zero-emission passenger vessels constructed in the United States. The color scheme is environmentally-friendly green combined with the blue of the water.

Volkswagen introduces new Coasting 2.0 micro hybrid system and new natural gas engine at Vienna Motor Symposium

Green Car Congress

Volkswagen has been represented in the marketplace with CNG engines since 2002. A key factor in its low emissions is the optimum conversion of the methane in the exhaust gas. We use the term e-gas to describe synthetically produced CNG that is made out of water and CO 2 from renewable power generation’s excess current.

MECA report finds additional NOx emission reductions from new heavy-duty trucks achievable and cost-effective

Green Car Congress

CO 2 and NO x certification test data for heavy-duty diesel engines certified from 2002 through 2019. Manufacturers continue to optimize diesel emission controls, such as DOC, DPF and SCR, in order to promote uniform catalyst coating, improve NO x conversion efficiency, reduce back pressure on the engine, and reduce thermal mass.

NHTSA Modeling and Technology Projections Underlying the Proposed CAFE Target of 34.1 mpg by MY 2016

Green Car Congress

The two agencies are continuing with their analysis, and will incorporate the upcoming National Academies update of the 2002 NAS Report, which presents technology effectiveness estimates. Cylinder deactivation: deactivates the intake and exhaust valves and prevents fuel injection into some cylinders during light-load operation.
