California’s Truck and Bus regulation ( earlier post ) has been in effect since December 2008, with the purpose of reducing emissions of diesel particulate matter (PM), oxides of nitrogen (NO x ) and other criteria pollutants from in-use diesel-fueled vehicles. Personal use motor homes or recreational vehicles.

The collaboration brings the two companies together to realize self-driving electric vehicles in cities as Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) fleets. Before that, Chris was a faculty member at Carnegie Mellon University, and helped win the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge. He has a PhD in Robotics from Carnegie Mellon.

From 1990 to 2007, the total number of registered civil-use vehicles in China grew from 5.5 Consequently, vehicle emissions have become an increasingly conspicuous contributor to air pollution in Chinese urban areas. Accelerating fleet turnover rate (especially taxis and buses) will likely help improving air quality in most cities.

per gallon, EV penetration in the US could reach 6% of the light-duty vehicle fleet by 2020, whereas with gasoline at $3.34, the EV share could be 9%. The orthodox view of unlimited oil demand growth simply does not hold in a world of super-efficient engines, electric vehicles, desperate air pollution problems, and action on climate.

Aviation gasoline is utilized in general aviation aircraft with piston engines—which are generally used for instructional flying, air taxi activities, and personal transportation. billion gallons of leaded avgas were consumed between 1970 and 2007, emitting approximately 34,000 tons of lead. EPA estimates that approximately 14.6

emissions (kg CO 2 person -1 yr -1 ) for a global sample of countries (2007) with a wide range of per capita incomes. Per capita transport CO 2 emissions are decomposed into the product of two terms: per capita LDV use (horizontal axis, veh-km person -1 yr -1 ) and propulsion carbon intensity (vertical axis, g CO 2 veh-km -1 ).
