MECA report finds additional NOx emission reductions from new heavy-duty trucks achievable and cost-effective (corrected)

Green Car Congress

[In the earlier version of this post, I mistakenly linked to and used the 2019 report rather than the current 2020 report. The first system is based on MY 2019 engines in production today. The third system adds a close-coupled SCR to a 2019-type underfloor system containing a DOC, DPF, and second SCR. I apologize for the error.

ICCT life-cycle analysis finds no climate benefit in using LNG as marine fuel

Green Car Congress

Additionally, LNG engines are tuned to either emit low nitrogen oxide (NO x ) emissions—at the cost of higher methane emissions in some cases—or to incorporate NO x reduction technologies such as exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) or selective catalytic reduction (SCR). As of November 2019, VLSFO was nearly as expensive as MGO.

the pollutant emissions discharged at the tailpipe outlet will be so low as to be hardly measurable, and their practical impact on air quality will be negligible. For this combustion improvement, mixture formation and charge motion, and ignition technologies including installation of pre-chambers need to be investigated. Reitz et al.

How to make heavy-duty electric trucks work in practice

Charged EVs

To figure out how to make electric trucks work in practice, the manufacturer, the state of California, and a wide array of partners—more than a dozen all told—launched the Volvo LIGHTS (Low Impact Green Heavy Transport Solutions) project in 2019 to test its first electric Class 8 tractors with multiple Southern California operators.
