Maryland commits to ban on gas vehicle sales

Teslarati

The State of Maryland followed in the footsteps of California today by banning all new gas vehicle sales by the model year 2035. Car exhaust is the largest source of greenhouse gas in the State of Maryland. 383,000 fewer new gas-powered vehicles would be sold under the new rule by 2030. to adopt the same standards.

Small-displacement two-stroke H2 engine could address performance and emissions cost-effectively for recreational market; potential for Asian motor vehicle fleet

Green Car Congress

It, or a scaled-up version, could also provide a solution for the Asian motor vehicle fleet, in which two-stroke engine vehicles constitute a major share—and contribute significantly to air pollution. Everything else—pistons, porting and crankcase, bearings, exhaust, etc.—were Lubrication proved to be an issue.

Bosch study highlights potential of e-fuels to reduce CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

If the climate targets set by the Paris conference are to be achieved, CO 2 emissions from traffic worldwide will have to be reduced 50% over the next four decades, and by at least 85% in the advanced economies, Bosch notes. In this way, the cost of exhaust-gas treatment can be reduced, Bosch adds. Bottom: Fuel pathways.

Advanced Turbocharged, Direct Injected Gasoline Engines Poised to Take on Diesels in US and in Europe for Reduced Fuel Consumption and Emissions

Green Car Congress

Tim Johnson, from Corning, in his review of diesel emission control technology at the conference, started as is his practice by a quick regulatory review. Many improvements in fleet fuel economy in Europe have been achieved through increased diesel market share, with the diesel market share in Europe now above 50%. Robert Czarnowski.

University of Wisconsin Researchers Investigating Dual-Fuel (Gasoline and Diesel) Partially Premixed Combustion for High-Efficiency, Ultra-Low Emission Combustion; 53% Thermal Efficiency

Green Car Congress

Kalghatgi and his group explored both the use of low-cetane fuels and exhaust gas recirculation (SAE 2007-01-0006). There are two ways to achieve this partially premixed combustion strategy: one is with high EGR rates to reduce PM formation with low combustion temperatures, the other is by exploiting the properties of fuels.
