While last year it appeared that the autoindustry as a whole would shift to R-1234yf, in September 2012, Daimler said that internal testing had identified safety (flammability) issues under certain conditions, and that it would not use R-1234yf in its products. With a GWP (Global Warming Potential) value of 1, R744 is 99.3%
The number of EU countries with CO2-related car taxation rose to 15 in 2008. In most Central and Eastern European countries, the main concern of policy makers remains to reduce the level of old vehicles on the streets with pollutant emission standards of below Euro 3. ACEA provides an overview of the CO 2 -based vehicle taxes here.
Based on the results of the study, CAR believes the economic risk to the autoindustry connected to mandating permanent fuel economy standards in the long run is “ very serious ” The group recommends periodic review to assess the rate of technology development and cost reduction of advanced technologies leading up to 2025.
million investment in 2015) in Carbon Recycling International ( CRI ), an Icelandic company which produces renewable methanol using recycled CO 2 emissions sourced from a local thermal power plant and hydrogen made by splitting water with electrolysis (Power-to-Methanol). Geely is a shareholder ($45.5-million Earlier post.).
accounting for the emissions generated during production of the vehicle and the fuel. To derive the emissions figure, T&E said that it made a number of assumptions for their calculations: The average gasoline lifetime driving distance of 175,000 km (108,740 miles) is taken as the starting point. Accounting for production emissions.
It’s also in line with what is expected of other industry sectors, as well as the EU Climate and Energy Framework and the global Paris agreement. Our industry is committed to being part of the solution when it comes to decarbonizing road transport, while at the same time reducing pollutant emissions. This is a steep reduction.
As the autoindustry awaits an EPA proposal for the next round of emissions rules for internal-combustion vehicles, an environmental advocacy group argues that similar standards should be applied to EVs.
Data on the cost of low carbon vehicle technologies was largely been sourced from the autoindustry itself, with the study supported by a core working group including Nissan, GE, the European Association of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA), and the European Storage Battery Manufacturers Association (Eurobat).
The European Parliament on Tuesday passed legislation that will gradually eliminate cars with combustion engines, fundamentally transforming the autoindustry in the bloc.
Multiple models from two of Australias top selling diesel SUV line-ups have been culled from the Aussie market because of the New Vehicle efficiency Standard (NVES) even before it officially starts measuring CO2emissions. That means higher fines for CO2emissions than can be economically justified. 2025 Isuzu MU-X.
The autoindustry can become a lead market for low-carbon steel production in Europe if lawmakers set content requirements. Steel made with green hydrogen and electric arc furnaces, or produced from scrap, can reduce the CO2emissions of producing cars in Europe by 6.9 Mt in 2030, new analysis shows.
Compared to the conventional blast furnace process, CO 2 emissions from steelmaking that are a feature of production can be significantly reduced by this innovative technology while maintaining product quality—which also significantly reduces the carbon footprint of products with a high steel content, for example in the automotive industry.
After years of waiting Australia will have a CO2emissions standard by January 1 2025 officially encouraging the purchase of electric vehicles if an ambitious Albanese Labor government timetable comes to pass. The NVES will work by providing car companies with targets for average emissions per kilometre from new vehicles sold.
For example, aluminum is a less expensive metal and if the nanostructure of aluminum alloys can be seen and hierarchically arranged in a similar manner, that would also help the autoindustry build lighter vehicles that use less fuel and put out less carbon dioxide that contributes to climate warming.
The partnership comes as the European autoindustry readies for a “battery passport” that will trace the content and carbon footprint of EV cells sold in Europe. Circulor CEO Douglas Johnson-Poensgen said the company was currently talking to companies up and down the EV battery cell supply chain.
While congestion pricing has been a useful tactic at reducing overwhelming traffic in major cities, secondary fees for “ultra-low emission zones” have also been introduced, such as those that remain in effect in London, to penalize the most polluting cars in an effort to improve air quality, according to Bloomberg.
Yeah, big shocker, right? Even though this cluelessness is hardly new information, it is still fascinating to see it when it presents itself. I recently had an exchange with said cluelessness in the comments section of a LinkedIn post. I know, I know, online comment sections are a vacuum for the egomaniacally ill-informed. I try […].
The needs of OEMs in China are growing steadily – especially as regards CO2 and other emission standards. Orders from Chinese automakers are playing a key role as China continues to lead global growth in the autoindustry. We want to support them locally with customized development work.
Ford Europe Executive Calls for Increased Momentum Behind CO2 Reduction Ford Motor Co. Ford's approach to sustainability is based on science and the recognition from a growing body of scientific evidence indicating that man-made CO2emissions are starting to significantly influence the world's climate. "If
But more recently it has struggled to gain access to EVs because of the absence of a federally mandated CO2emissions reduction structure and purchase subsidies. That’s reflected in the position of the over-arching autoindustry lobby group, the FCAI. Paterson said Nissan supports CO2 targets, but with provisos. “We
By Charles Morris As the legacy automakers increase their commitment to electric vehicles, just about all the autoindustry analysts expect that Tesla’s currently dominating market share will erode. Originally posted on EVANNEX.
On Wall Street, the company’s market value has outpaced its autoindustry counterparts who specialize in internal combustion engine (ICE) technology. Originally posted on EVANNEX. Right now, Tesla is at the vanguard of an all-electric future. Are things changing, though?
And it happen to be in the autoindustry. Originally published on EV Annex. Doesn’t it feel like the news is always so negative nowadays? Well, there is a bright spot out there. Once considered a tiny niche, the electric vehicle sector is surging.
For the ADEPT project, the consortium comprises CPT, the European Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium (EALABC), Faurecia Emissions Control Technologies, Ford and the University of Nottingham. Vehicle electrification and in particular mild hybridization of a conventional powertrain at 48V is a rapid growth area for the automotive industry.
The German government has opposed the strictest CO2emission proposals in the EU, in order to protect their domestic, comparatively more polluting, autoindustry. The Norwegians have a host of EV positive initiatives. But the Germans, for all their green reputation, remain laggards. An electric VW, say a Plug-in UP!
In the last five months, zero-emission vehicles have made up over 50% of its overall car sales , up from 31.2% To learn from its experience, let’s look back through Norway’s 30-year journey to becoming an EV giant: it all started with a mission to curb the country’s CO2emissions. Curbing CO2Emissions with Electric Transport.
Decarbonization (or decarbonisation) is reducing the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere as a component of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Even with the temporary drop in mobility in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, emissions from transportation are still rising globally.
Because if all we do is flood the market with BEVs – and New South Wales still has 75 per cent of its power generated by coal – all we have done is shift the emissions from the tailpipe to the power station.” But in a recent report industry super funds warned the transition risked falling behind without increased investment. “We
Charged : I know traceability has always been important in certain industries. Do you provide a lot of services to the autoindustry? I’ve been in traceability for more than 30 years—we started mostly in the pharmaceutical industry to provide traceability for FDA regulations. But the autoindustry, this is something new.
The heads of BMW, Volkswagen, and Renault have spoken out against European Union’s emission targets in recent days, arguing that the phase-out rules put too much pressure on the industry and that consumers aren’t buying EVs fast enough. We are not contesting 2035,” said de Meo. Now we must get down to it.”
Electric vehicles have attracted the attention of India’s policy makers as clean technology alternatives due to their multiple advantages like higher efficiency and lower air pollution in short to medium term and reduced CO2emissions. India is the fifth-largest auto market with 3.49 Market overview.
Photo by Simone Ramella on Flickr Renault CEO Luca de Meo said today that automakers collectively may need to pay ~€15B in fines if they miss 2025 emissions targets, as they’ve failed to ramp up efficient vehicle production in line with EU guidance – even as consumer EV demand continues to rise in Europe. km or lower. km or lower.

As if anyone needed more reminding, it’s another example of the immense capability of the Chinese autoindustry. Australia finally joins the ranks of modern, civilised nations in 2025 with the introduction of CO2emissions restrictions on cars, utes and SUVs. But the Shark 6 is not perfect by any means.
According to French autoindustry group Plateforme automobile and reported by RFI , 26% of new cars sold in France were battery electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles, amounting to 1,774,729 new cars. In 2023, 26% of new cars sold in France were battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, a huge 47% jump from 2022.
But their application has been controversial, because it is thought of as a way to maintain current autoindustry practices rather than quickly reforming the whole autoindustry around electrification. But regardless, we must say – naturally, we agree with the VDA that fossil fuel sales need to end by 2045.
As the International Energy Agency last week underscored, SUVs emit about 20% more CO2 than cars , whether they’re electric or not. vehicle efficiency and emissions standards, generally set in coordination between these different agencies. vehicle sales. 2024 Toyota Prius These fleet rules are one side of U.S.
The eyes of the green car world, so regularly focused on Asia, Germany and the US, have finally taken more than a passing glance at one of the most historic autoindustries in the world – that of France. The green car race: the French are coming. PSA Peugeot Citroen – one to watch.
