MECA report finds additional NOx emission reductions from new heavy-duty trucks achievable and cost-effective

Green Car Congress

In this report, MECA provides our assessment of technologies being commercialized by component suppliers, including MECA members, to help their customers comply with future lower NO x standards. New substrates are designed with thinner walls or higher porosity, which allows the coating of better catalysts without sacrificing durability.

Montana Company Licenses Lawrence Livermore Zinc Air Fuel Cell Technology

Green Car Congress

In a 1995 paper, Cooper noted that the cost of the recovery unit is small compared with the cost of the battery because it operates continuously and hence at a lower power level than the battery. In addition, it lacks the expensive air electrode of the zinc/air battery, adding to the lower cost of the ZAFC solution.
