Mercedes-Benz Trucks launching 3rd generation of OM 471 heavy-duty diesel

Green Car Congress

Reduced friction losses and pressure control with low-viscosity oil. For this purpose, the third-generation OM 471 has a newly developed engine oil pressure control valve. It is installed behind the engine oil pump and in front of the oil thermostat. Newly-developed exhaust gas aftertreatment system.

Research consortium investigating use of DME blends in diesels with minimal retrofitting

Green Car Congress

Previous studies have shown that it is possible to operate diesel engines with 100% DME, but that this requires significant effort (injection components, combustion process, exhaust gas aftertreatment, tank system) in terms of conversion. Ideally, the conventional system components already installed in the vehicle are retained.

IHS Markit: shippers, refiners scrambling to respond to IMO signals on low-sulfur fuel enforcement

Green Car Congress

At a February 2018 meeting, an IMO-subcommittee announced a proposal to ban the carriage of non-compliant bunker fuel (fuel that exceeds the 0.50% sulfur limit) aboard ships that have not installed on-board ship scrubbers (exhaust gas cleaning systems), Barrow said. As of August 2017, approximately 360 ships had installed scrubbers.

DOE awards $35M to 12 ARPA-E projects to reduce methane emissions; 5 on natural gas engines

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE) announced $35 million in funding for twelve projects focused on developing technologies to reduce methane emissions in the oil, gas, and coal industries. The system will significantly increase methane conversion efficiency and comply with future stringent nitrous oxide regulations.

IHS Markit: 2020 low-sulfur requirements for marine bunker fuels causing scramble for refiners and shippers

Green Car Congress

Heavy fuel oil (HFO) is the predominant marine fuel. However, IHS Markit researchers expect that on-board ship scrubbers, devices that clear harmful pollutants from exhaust gas, will be the primary compliance path for ships, which could continue to burn higher-sulfur fuels. It is viscous, dirty, inexpensive and widely available.

Audi’s new 3.0L diesel; ready for 48V mild hybrid system

Green Car Congress

The use of a performance-regulated oil pump is also economically beneficial. As only a software update will be installed, the time required for the work on the cars will be about 30 minutes. The oil cooler is integrated in the coolant flow of cylinder heads as needed. Audi recalls 24,000 cars in Europe with Euro 5 TDI engines.
