Diesel vehicles have had a rough time penetrating the US light-duty vehicle market, reflecting outdated negative perceptions, higher fuel prices for diesel than for gasoline, the cost of complying with stringent US emission standards, and rapidly improving gasoline engines. —Isenstadt and German (2017). Background.

However, although the state has made considerable progress decoupling economic growth from greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the rate of emissions decline appears to be slowing, due in part to a spike in transportation emissions attributed to an increase from light-duty vehicles. But the effects of these efforts seem to be reaching a plateau.

Since vehicles represent approximately 35 percent of UPS’s carbon footprint, a cornerstone of the company’s environmental strategy is to support the development and use of lower-emission alternative fuels. By 2017, our goal is to reach one billion miles driven by our alternative fuel and advanced technology fleet.

10,000 hours, the equivalent of 300,000 driven miles, is the point at which hydrogen fuel cell endurance is comparable to the best light-weight diesel engines under such test conditions. This approach significantly improves a PEM fuel cell’s durability and at the same time reduces the cost of a system. Earlier post.). Earlier post.).
