International automotive researchers emphasize the importance of continued development of the internal combustion engine

Green Car Congress

We are certainly in revolutionary times, but it is clear that power generation sources will not become fully renewable and transport will not become fully electric for several decades, if ever. Global warming potential (GWP) in CO2 equivalent tons by sector. road dust) are accounted for. —Reitz et al. Reitz et al. Gas exchange.

CPT Brings TIGERS Technology to VIPER Project for Enhanced Energy Recovery

Green Car Congress

can be achieved over a broad range of vehicles in part by optimizing the control of heat energy from conventional gasoline and diesel engines. CPT’s turbo-generator integrated gas energy recovery system employs the same switched reluctance technology as its production-ready VTES electric supercharging and SpeedStart stop-start systems.

CPT developing 48-volt electric supercharger for micro-mild hybrids

Green Car Congress

Controlled Power Technologies (CPT) is developing a 48-volt version of its 12 volt electric supercharger based on its variable torque enhancement system known as VTES. At 48 volts, a VTES electric supercharger will transform 7kW of battery power into a highly boosted charge of air for downsized gasoline and diesel engines.

Study Finds Controlling Soot May Be Fastest Method to Reduce Arctic Ice Loss and Global Warming; Second-Leading Cause of Global Warming After CO2

Green Car Congress

Soot—black and brown particles that absorb solar radiation—comes from two types of sources: fossil fuels such as diesel, coal, gasoline, jet fuel; and solid biofuels such as wood, manure, dung, and other solid biomass used for home heating and cooking around the world. Particle traps filter out soot particles from exhaust fumes.

Solar EV Charging – An Emerging Charging Method

Push EVs

With the increasingly serious environmental pollution problem, countries around the world have issued stricter regulations to limit vehicle exhaust emissions. The mandate would amount to a prohibition on the sale in the 27-nation bloc of new cars powered by gasoline or diesel. The European car market has begun to shift to EVs.
