Experts view on future transportation fuels

Green Car Congress

Since internal combustion engines will remain the primary mode of choice for mobility in the foreseeable future, both alternative (renewable) fuels and high-performance combustion concepts/ engines using fuels adapted for that purpose will be preferred for reducing the combustion impact on climate change. —Kalghatgi et al.

Bi-fuel evolutions of the LEVC TX taxi and VN5 van; range extender engines run on LPG/biopropane and CNG/biomethane

Green Car Congress

The LEVC TX and VN5 are manufactured by London EV Company (LEVC), a subsidiary of Geely. Conversion costs are still in development but the target is for the system paying for itself in 12 to 18 months. This of course depends on the number of miles driven, the miles per gallon achieved and future changes in the price of the fuels.

Voltia conversion expands Nissan e-NV200 electric delivery van for London

Green Car Reports

As the United Kingdom joins other countries in committing to a future ban on fossil-fuel vehicles, commercial fleet operators that rely on diesel vehicles are left in a bit of a pickle. Nissan has an answer in its zero-emission eNV200 electric cargo van, but its small dimensions leave a lot to be desired for commercial operators that need.

UP Catalyst CO2-derived carbon nanotube electrode material boosts cycle life in Na-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Tests conducted by Titirici Group , a multidisciplinary research team based at Imperial College London, have found that a novel carbon nanotube electrode material derived from CO 2 —produced by Estonian nanotech company UP Catalyst ( earlier post )—enhances the cyclability of sodium-ion batteries.

Cambridge study of near-term alternative London bus technologies finds lean-burn CNG most costly with greater climate impact than diesel

Green Car Congress

Annual GHG emissions relative to BASE Scenario (BASE Scenario = 949 kt CO 2 e on a 100-year GWP basis) for differing London bus fleet technology options. On the basis of CH 4 exhaust emissions factors, the CNGL Scenario results showed that fully 3% of LB-CNG bus fuel combustion (by mass) is incomplete when averaged over all London buses.

Researchers find ammonium concentration in PM2.5 leading to higher risk of death

Green Car Congress

This finding stems from the largest global analysis of its kind, led by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) as part of the Multi-City Multi-Country (MCC) Collaborative Research Network. The results from this study are important for future policies on air pollution. The risk of excess mortality from PM 2.5
