All new vehicle sales in Oregon to be ZEVs by MY 2035

Green Car Congress

These include both battery-electric and fuel-cell-electric vehicles, as well as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. New gasoline vehicles will still be allowed for sale through 2034. Known as Advanced Clean Cars II , the set of rules builds on regulations in place since 2005.

Dark Secrets at The Heart EV Supply chain We Often Fail to Address

Get Electric Vehicle

We all believe that an electric vehicle is much more eco-friendlier than a conventional gasoline car. Yes, They Are Greener But… On the surface, EVs are more ecological than gasoline cars because 70-80% of the pollution caused by automobiles comes from their tailpipe and EVs don’t have tailpipe emissions.

EIA Energy Outlook 2013 reference case sees drop in fossil fuel consumption as use of petroleum-based liquid fuels falls; projects 20% higher sales of hybrids and PHEVs than AEO2012

Green Car Congress

Transportation sector gasoline demand declines. Projected sales of alternative-fuel vehicles in the AEO2013 Reference case are lower than in AEO2012, with the majority of the reduction reflected in sales of flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs), which in 2035 are about 1.3 Motor gasoline consumption will be less than previously estimated.

Global Carbon Project: Global carbon emissions growth slows, but hits record high

Green Car Congress

Per capita emissions in affluent countries remain disproportionately high—a fact that further complicates the picture as developing countries seek greater prosperity through more natural-gas-fueled electricity and gasoline-powered vehicles and air travel. Coal use should drop a further 10% in the E.U.

Study finds PHEVs will reduce net emissions of CO2 and NOx; upward pressure on SO2

Green Car Congress

Net emissions resulting from the use of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) depend on the efficiency of the conventional vehicle fleet; PHEV CD (all-electric, charge-depleting mode) efficiency; charging strategy; battery pack capacity; driving patterns; and generator mix used for charging. —Peterson et al.

Roland Berger study outlines integrated vehicle and fuels roadmap for further abating transport GHG emissions 2030+ at lowest societal cost

Green Car Congress

Among the key findings of the study were: Maintaining the existing vehicle efficiency and fuels regulations to 2030 will lower tank-to-wheel GHG emissions from road transport to 647 Mt representing a 29% reduction compared to 2005 levels, achieving almost aspired level for 2030. FCVs fueled with low carbon, renewable hydrogen (for PC).
