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

Green Car Congress

the pollutant emissions discharged at the tailpipe outlet will be so low as to be hardly measurable, and their practical impact on air quality will be negligible. Further development of exhaust gas energy recovery systems with turbo-compounding and possibly chemical reforming should be encouraged. —Reitz et al. g/bhp-h or 15–20?mg/km).

No Silent Electric Vehicles | Sound For Electric Vehicles

Electric Vehicless

The cost of utilizing petrol in a traditional engine is 60% more than the cost that is required to charge an Electric Vehicle (EV) for the same amount of distance covered in a vehicle of equal size. The statistic for road accidents between electric vehicles and cyclists is shockingly even higher at 56%.

First results from HEI/ACES murine study find few biologic effects from exposure to exhaust from new technology diesel engines

Green Car Congress

The study—a component of the Advanced Collaborative Engine Study (ACES)—is exposing rats and mice for 16 hours a day to emissions from a heavy duty diesel engine meeting 2007 US EPA standards that reduce emissions of fine particles and other pollutants by more than 90% from levels emitted by older engines.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. Appendix D: Vehicle Driving Statistics. The grid then becomes more efficient, thus reducing the cost of delivered electricity to everyone. (In by Professor Andrew Alfonso Frank. CTO Efficient Drivetrains Inc.
