A new report from the European Environment Agency (EEA) suggests that new road charges for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs or lorries) should reflect the varied health effects of traffic pollution in different European countries. This means charges should be much higher in some countries compared to others, according to the (EEA).

Use of new technologies to reduce friction losses should be able to lower automotive fuel consumption and emissions by 18% within the next 5 to 10 years and by up to 61% within 15 to 25 years, according to a joint study by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in the US. million TJ/a.

In each case, PHEV emissions and fuel use were much higher than expected, though it differs for various regions and car models. Gaps fell between 176% (Finland), up to 287% (Poland). But cars which, for example, kick you out of EV mode as soon as you hit the accelerator , aren’t particularly useful in terms of avoiding fossil fuel use.

Researchers from Tampere University and the University of Eastern Finland have found that the particulate emissions of auxiliary heaters can be up to a thousand times higher than the particulate emissions of idling gasoline vehicles. Their open-access study is published in the journal Atmosphere. doi: 10.3390/atmos12091105.

40 kWh battery EV is equal to diesel car. This means a battery’s CO2 footprint will be regarded the same no matter if it will allow 500 charge and discharge cycles or 5,000. The most important matter here is the heat is supplied from electricity or fuel have a significant impact. Energy used in the battery value chain.

A team of researchers in Finland reports that by adjusting engine parameters for the use of hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) renewable diesel fuel across a range of loads (50%, 75%, and 100%), particulate matter and NO x emissions can both be reduced by more than 25% relative to the values from using HVO with standard engine conditions.

In a poster-session paper presented at CIMAC Congress 2016 in Finland, Ricardo described the use of this split-cycle concept in high- and medium-speed engines for power generation to achieve efficiencies of 60% from units of 1–30 MW mechanical output. Illustrative split cycle engine layout in a V configuration (cross section view).
