The ICCT team—John German and Aaron Isenstadt—concluded that diesels have and will retain two significant advantages over gasoline engines: significantly better fuel economy and cargo hauling and towing ability. miles per gallon in model year 2016, and 49.1 miles per gallon in model year 2016, and 49.1

The found that using a GPF did not show any fuel economy and CO 2 emission penalties, while the emissions of total hydrocarbons (THC), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) were generally reduced. In the study, the team used two MY 2016 passenger cars. Yang et al. Click to enlarge. —Yang et al.

In August 2016, DOE announced funding of up to $7 million further to support the initiative. Co-Optima’s premise is that current fuels constrain engine design—and thus engine efficiency. With the 2016 start date, that gives the team three years to complete the R&D efforts in this area. —Robert Wagner.

Three of the NHTSA scenarios for penetration of technologies for passenger cars for MY 2016. On 15 Sep, NHTSA and the US EPA proposed a joint rulemaking on fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions for light duty vehicles: an average new car 34.1 mpg and 250 g CO 2 /km for model year 2016.

Frank has spent more than 30 years in breakthrough vehicle development, during which he received two world records for vehicle fuel economy, designed nine generations of PHEVs, and was a four-time winner of US DOE Advanced Vehicle Design competitions. Smaller and lighter, it requires less liquid fuel. Conclusions.
