Their study is publishedin the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology. California LEVIII and US Tier 3 regulations will begin a four year phase-in starting in 2015 and 2017, respectively, to a PM maximum of 3 mg/mile from the current 10 mg/mile LEVII limit. In the study, the team used two MY 2016 passenger cars.

billion in 2017, driven by the need to conform to environmental regulations. A 10% reduction in vehicle weight offers fuel savings of 5 to 7% (in mpg), provided the vehicle's powertrain is also downsized, Frost & Sullivan notes. The Frost & Sullivan study considers the following materials: Advanced High-strength Steels (AHSS).

Improving battery power to such as level would further enable hybridization to near-HEV levels as well as engine downsizing, thereby enabling fuel economy improvements beyond the current 10-15% MHEV limit. For their study, the A123 team used two cycles—FTP-72 for the US and NEDC for Europe. Abdellahi et al. Click to enlarge.

The EU has already set a standard for 6 × 10 12 number/km limits between 2014 and 2017, tightening to 6 × 10 11 number/km.). Homogeneous GDI provides fuel efficiency benefits from charge air cooling, more facile turbocharging, and the downsizing that these permit. —Maricq et al. The PM is predominantly (?80?90%)

The Dearman transport refrigeration system combines cryogenic refrigeration with a Dearman engine and a downsized vapor compression refrigeration cycle, giving it several decisive advantages. Studies have suggested that delivering at night, when there is less congestion, can reduce fleet CO 2 emissions by up to 30%.
