As well as ecological and tax benefits, TGI technology offers exceptionally low costs per kilometer—up to 50% cheaper than a gasoline equivalent model and 30% cheaper than a diesel—and with the further improvements SEAT has made to the technology, now it can go even further before needing to be refueled.

The compressed (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) power platforms join Peterbilt’s family of SmartWay®certified on-highway vehicles and alternative fuel vehicles. This fluid is stored until the driver next accelerates the vehicle which reduces fuel consumption and wear on the engine. Click to enlarge. Model 320 Hybrid.

At the same time, it’s becoming apparent that alternative-fuel solutions we’re looking at have big drawbacks, and that producing these fuels will take a lot of green power that will be needed to replace coal and gas on shore. The first was the American NS Savannah , built in the late 1950s at a cost of $46.9

Most commonly it is refined from conventional coal seam gas, often termed ‘natural gas’ to greenwash what it really is, in essence just methane found with other fossil-fuel deposits. If taken from such sources, hydrogen is a fossil fuel, and is not a renewable resource. Hydrogen ions are highly acidic and thus highly corrosive.

The Conversation Enhancement feature was convenient and made perfect sense for enhanced communication for front and rear passengers, as their voices are captured by embedded microphones and reproduced using the 36-speaker system. Because of this we don’t address issues such as long-term reliability or total cost of ownership.

Durable and affordable higher-temperature heat exchangers could make energy conversion much more efficient, which in turn could reduce fuel consumption, system footprint, capital and operational cost, and emissions. It features a plate-type heat exchanger that enables lower cost, powder-based manufacturing.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix.

Has shown some concept fuel-cell PHEVs. Several after-market companies have done PHEV conversions of the Ford Escape hybrid and one has done a retrofit of the F-150 pickup -- see Where PHEVs Are and ICE-Conversions.) The F6 DM uses ferrous batteries, with no lithium content, that BYD says are high-energy density and low cost.

Furthermore, changing the battery pack on say a Toyota Prius often costs a fortune, at least in most European countries, so such cars better be VERY cheap, but they’re not. And with EV maintenance you are less exposed to being ripped off buy the ICE car repairman. nk Related Posts From Green Inc. Shameless self plugs here.
