The pistons are full-skirt pistons; the internal design of the block (the intake, exhaust and transfer ports) doesn’t require machining “port windows” into the piston. This alloy has proven to be 2 to 3 times stronger at operating temperature than the aluminum alloys pistons are traditionally made with.
As North America continues to strive for cleaner air through tighter regulations, there are strong indicators that GPF technology also may expand to the region in the near future.
intermediate volatility organic compound (IVOC) emissions from vehicles) and atmospheric chemistry (SOA yields due to the photo-oxidation of exhaust). As an example, changing the NMOG:NO x from 4 to 10 ppbC/ppbNOx increased the SOA yield from dilute gasoline vehicle exhaust by a factor of 8. —Allen Robinson. Presto, Timothy D.
We have noticed that the exhaust appears cleaner and seems less toxic. Argent has a fleet of about 20 pieces of equipment comprising wheel loaders, excavators, bobcats and a couple of water trucks. Our experience has been positive. There’s no change in engine performance. We absolutely love the renewable nature of this product.
the criteria pollutants and CO 2 that emerge with the exhaust from the tailpipe. However, there is more than 15 years of research showing that the contribution of non-exhaust primary particles to the total traffic generated primary particles is significant in urban areas. Further, a 2013 review by Denier van der Gon et al. Background.
Exhaust from motor vehicles and boats account for 25% of the PM 2.5 , according to the Shanghai Environmental Protection Bureau said yesterday. Their exhaust discharge is 20 to 30 times that of new cars. The city of Shanghai, China will spend 10.3 billion yuan (US$1.63 control, over the next three years. measurement.
By gaining a better understanding of how these parameter uncertainties affect outcomes, the VERIFI researchers, along with colleagues at the University of Connecticut, are seeking to create cleaner and more efficient engines.

Here's what you'll get: The aforementioned six-pack of 20-oz bottles of Techron Complete Fuel System Cleaner, a Techron T-shirt, a Techron hat, and some assorted odds and ends such as magnets and stickers. We're giving things away again.
If you’re driving down the road and you notice a quiet car in front of you, you should know that the car’s exhaust system is doing its job. A well-maintained exhaust system is essential in making your ride safe and sound. If your exhaust system is working correctly, it benefits your fuel consumption and the environment.
The absence of motor noise and exhaust emissions contributes to better working conditions for the drivers and a quieter, cleaner urban environment. The drivers who will operate the electric trucks have had the opportunity to test-drive them prior to delivery, as part of the operator training.
The advanced design places the exhaust inside the engine’s V-shape while the air intake is positioned on the outside of the V. This segment-exclusive design naturally improves a variety of attributes: Shorter airflow from the exhaust system to the turbocharger sitting between the engine’s cylinder banks improves turbo responsiveness.
EPA will provide funding for: Verified Exhaust Control Technologies: up to 100% of the cost of eligible verified. Verified/Certified Cleaner Fuel Use: the cost differential between the eligible cleaner fuels. technology if that technology is combined on the same vehicle with a new eligible verified exhaust control.
Emissions from automobile exhaust systems have decreased in recent years due to the introduction of cleaner fuels and new control technologies on internal combustion engines, as well as increases in numbers of hybrid and electric vehicles.
Volvo Trucks unveiled Vera : an autonomous, electric vehicle that can operate with significantly less exhaust emissions and low noise levels. Vera is controlled and monitored via a cloud-based service, and has the potential to make transportation safer, cleaner and more efficient.
The resulting lower-temperature SOFCs could provide a cleaner, more efficient alternative to conventional power plants for generating electricity from coal reserves. gasified coal—by eliminating the coking problem. An open access paper on their work was published 21 June in the journal Nature Communications.
engine include a compacted graphite iron engine block that increases peak cylinder pressure capability; and a new cast-iron cylinder head containing high-temperature capable exhaust valves actuated by all-new hydraulic lash adjusters in the block eliminating the need for valvetrain adjustment service intervals.

Instead of capturing CO 2 in the presence of a large amount of nitrogen, the oxy-combustion approach extracts the oxygen from air before combustion, greatly reducing the cost of carbon capture at the exhaust stack. This project will test oxygen separation technology and exhaust processing technology after combustion at power plant scales.
The first study to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of lifetime exposure to new technology diesel exhaust (NTDE)—i.e., exhaust from heavy-duty diesel engines meeting EPA 2007 and later emissions requirements—has found no evidence of carcinogenic lung tumors. Earlier post.) Advanced Collaborative Emissions Study (ACES).

VIP is part of the state’s overall plan to cut toxic diesel emissions 85 percent by 2020.
Although electric cars do not emit exhaust, it's widely recognized that the electricity to charge their batteries often still comes from fossil fuels. This has led to the scrutiny of electric cars to determine whether their overall "wells-to-wheels" carbon footprints exceed those of regular vehicles powered by internal-combustion engines.
However, both measurements also act as proxies for the complex mixture of gases in diesel exhaust, which is an established carcinogen and associated with respiratory, cardiovascular and reproductive health effects. Cars being pushed by diesel trains during a return trip had air that was generally cleaner than that next to busy city streets.
Measurements by Ricardo found that an older Euro III bus retrofitted with a selective catalytic reduction and continuously regenerating particulate trap system can be cleaner in terms of lower NO x emissions than newer Euro V hybrid buses.
The C30 CNG microturbine doesn’t require fuel pretreatment or exhaust aftertreatment to meet these standards, thereby avoiding additional costs, decreased product efficiency and increased vehicle weight. It delivers benefits unattainable with conventional engines for cleaner, more reliable and quieter mass transportation.
diesel engine and will use Cummins Westport’s proven, spark-ignited, stoichiometric-cooled exhaust gas recirculation (SEGR) technology. Thomas Built is expanding its CNG offering in response to increasing customer interest in school buses powered by lower-priced, cleaner and increasingly abundant natural gas. G, a mid-range 6.7
While CO 2 emission rules will drive the deployment of zero-emission vehicles, it is important to ensure that all vehicles on European roads are much cleaner, the EC said. The European Commission presented its proposal for Euro 7 standards to reduce air pollution from new motor vehicles sold in the EU.
Once funding has been exhausted, the program will close to new applications, and updated information will be available on the CVRP website. The existing CVRP program will continue to accept applications while funding remains available.

We also show for the first time that patients from areas with cleaner air are more sensitive to changes in pollution, while those from more polluted cities can adapt to fluctuations. Sources include industrial processes such as iron making and quarrying, lawn mowing, wood and coal stoves, bushfires, dust storms, and vehicle exhaust emissions.
TDI are still sparse at this time, Keogh said the block, heads, cooling system, engine management, turbo and exhaust components are all new. And when it does, we’ll be talking about a renewable, cleaner, alternative source of energy that further improves America’s energy independence. —Scott Keogh.
