OECD report finds measures needed to curb PM emitted by wear of car parts and road surfaces, including EVs

Green Car Congress

Wear and tear from brakes, tires and road surfaces will soon overtake car exhaust fumes as the leading source of fine particles released into the air by road traffic, according to a new OECD report. Heavy electric vehicles with long-distance batteries could compound the problem even as they slash emissions from engine exhaust.

IAV develops new close-coupled diesel exhaust gas aftertreatment system for improved emissions reduction

Green Car Congress

IAV has developed a particularly closed-coupled diesel exhaust gas aftertreatment (EAT) system. A key contribution to this performance must come from the exhaust gas aftertreatment system—across the entire speed and load range. This way, exhaust gas flows through DOC and SCRF before it enters the turbine.

Empa and partners exploring DME as fuel with new heavy-duty test engine

Green Car Congress

An electrically driven compressor for precise exhaust gas recirculation is also used. Then we modify the timing and pressure of the injection, among other things, and look at exhaust emission values and fuel consumption. This is done via exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). —Patrik Soltic.

EV myths busted: Are electric vehicles safer than gas-powered cars?

Drive Electric

Electric vehicles have historically received a bad reputation for concerns around safety. Issues like thermal runaway, electrocution, and reports of inextinguishable fires plagued the pioneering electric vehicles. Useful terms: Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle (ICEV) and Electric Vehicle (EV). In fact, EVs have just 25.1
