Green NCAP LCA study shows detrimental climate and energy impact of increasing vehicle weight, including EVs

Green Car Congress

The results of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of greenhouse gas emissions and primary energy demand of the cars tested by Green NCAP in 2022 show that the current and continuous trend towards larger and heavier cars, significantly increases the negative impact on climate and energy demand. tonnes of additional greenhouse gas emissions and 5.7

MAN presents hydrogen roadmap; use in fuel cells and combustion engines

Green Car Congress

Apart from the rapid development of battery technology, hydrogen is a good complementary option as an alternative fuel for long-distance transport. MAN is testing both the use of a fuel cell and an H 2 combustion engine. When in use, fuel cells do not cause any climate-damaging emissions, as they only emit water vapor.

Bosch highlights hydrogen engine work at bauma; involved in more than 100 technical trials with customers worldwide

Green Car Congress

When driven by green hydrogen, these powertrains are virtually climate-neutral. In addition, the powertrain concept represents an effective complement to fuel cell technology since it requires the same vehicle storage systems and an identical infrastructure. Engine manufacturers can thus benefit from maximum flexibility.

Study finds behavior-influencing policies remain critical for mass market success of low-carbon vehicles

Green Car Congress

Policies to entice consumers away from fossil-fuel powered vehicles and normalize low carbon, alternative-fuel alternatives, such as electric vehicles, are vital if the world is to significantly reduce transport sector carbon pure-emissions, according to a new study. Note the different scaling used in the graphs.
