Study finds high exhaust temperatures within NTE operation for heavy-duty diesels with aftertreatment systems contribute to high nanoparticle concentrations

Green Car Congress

The transient results illustrate the gradual formation of the nucleation mode particles with continuous increase in exhaust temperatures. The particle number count under those conditions increased by more than an order of magnitude in comparison to DPF-out particle concentrations. Credit: ACS, Thiruvengadam et al. Click to enlarge.

York, Empa study finds retrofitting of VW diesel engines was successful

Green Car Congress

Together with his colleagues, he used a special instrument to examine the exhaust plumes of 23,000 passing cars and analyzed the levels of NO x and CO 2. The measurements took place in England between May 2012 and April 2018—before and after the Dieselgate scandal.

EEA report: EVs are better for climate and air quality

Green Car Congress

For local air quality, electric vehicles also offer clear benefits, mainly due to zero exhaust emissions at street level. BEVS can offer local air quality benefits due to zero exhaust emissions, e.g., nitrogen oxides (NO x ) and particulate matter (PM). g CO 2 /km) since 2012. of all new registrations in the EU.

Study finds biodiesel from algae, yeast and bacteria can displace both petroleum diesel and soybean biodiesel

Green Car Congress

Here, we have selected a representative from each of these three groups, produced biodiesel, have characterized the properties of the fuels in comparison to biodiesel produced from plant oils. Exhaust gas temperatures were highest for diesel #2, followed by soybean, microalgae, yeast, and bacteria (in order of decreasing temperatures).
