Hyundai Motor Group, Aramco and KAUST collaborate on new e-fuel for novel combustion system

Green Car Congress

Hyundai Motor Group is conducting various R&D activities to minimize greenhouse gas emissions from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles during its transition to battery electric vehicles (BEV) and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV). The collaboration is expected to create synergies leveraging each participant’s expertise.

EV Technician Training Program Hits The Road In 2023

CleanTechnica EVs

Obviously, EVs use electricity to power their engines, while gas-powered vehicles use gasoline. EVs are usually more efficient and produce fewer emissions than gas-powered cars, so they’re an important part of the solution for urban pollution and climate change.

3 East Coast states and DC first to participate in TCI-P cap-and-invest program for transportation

Green Car Congress

The TCI-P will work by requiring large gasoline and diesel fuel suppliers to purchase “allowances” for the greenhouse gas emissions caused by the combustion of fuels they sell in participating jurisdictions. The total number of emission allowances would decline each year, resulting in less transportation pollution.

EEA report: EVs are better for climate and air quality

Green Car Congress

Battery electric cars emit less greenhouse gases and air pollutants over their entire life cycle than petrol and diesel cars, according to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report. Emissions are usually higher in the production phase of electric cars, but these are more than offset by lower emissions in the use phase over time.

CMU study finds taxes on emissions would result in more rapid electrification by ridesharing companies

Green Car Congress

Ridesourcing vehicles’ high use intensity is economically attractive for electric vehicles, which typically have lower operating costs and higher capital costs than conventional vehicles. Air pollution is a classic case where free markets fail. —Bruchon et al.
