FPT Industrial unveils new Cursor 13 natural gas heavy-duty engine

Green Car Congress

The bio-methane solution is capable of reducing CO₂ emission levels near zero. It can be produced locally, significantly reducing the need for transporting energy and the related CO₂ emissions. The new engine’s CO₂ emission level is lower (-9%) compared to diesel and can reach near zero by using bio-methane.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. Since it can operate on 100% biofuel, it is the means for achieving new goals recently set for reducing the use of fossil fuels and cutting the net emission of CO 2 to zero. by Professor Andrew Alfonso Frank.
