California’s Advanced Clean Cars program: transforming the light-duty fleet to zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell and electric vehicles with an eye on 2050

Green Car Congress

Beyond 2025, ARB notes, the driving force for lowering emissions in California will thus be climate change. Advanced Clean Car (ACC) package, the ZEV regulation along with new LEV III smog-forming pollutant and GHG standards can be the catalyst to that transformative process. Click to enlarge. As the technology.

Toyota Transport begins operating first CNG-fueled car hauler

Green Car Congress

Initially, the placement of alternate fuel tanks presented a challenge for car haulers utilizing a 9-car trailer with an over-the-cab head rack. Most of its car hauler trucks average more than 100,000 miles per year. The CNG truck is expected to drive an average of 7,000 to 8,000 miles per month. billion in fuel costs.
