Small-displacement two-stroke H2 engine could address performance and emissions cost-effectively for recreational market; potential for Asian motor vehicle fleet

Green Car Congress

Such an engine could provide a cost-effective solution for small recreational vehicle- and motorcycle applications. It, or a scaled-up version, could also provide a solution for the Asian motor vehicle fleet, in which two-stroke engine vehicles constitute a major share—and contribute significantly to air pollution.

UCR study finds ultra-low emission natural gas bus exceeds federal and state NOx standards; as low as 0.0007g/bhp-hr

Green Car Congress

In both cases, the NO x emissions were surprisingly low and 99% cleaner than the current standard and 99.96% cleaner than the 2004 standard. By deploying this technology, large bus fleets like Metro’s have a tremendous opportunity to achieve clean air gains. We have tested two of the ISL G near-zero 8.9
