In a paper being presented at WCX SAE World Congress Experience in Detroit this week, a team from MIT is proposing the use of a flex-fuel gasoline-alcohol engine approach for a series-hybrid powertrain for long-haul Class 8 trucks. The research was supported by the MIT Arthur Samberg Energy Innovation Fund. —Daniel Cohn.

Researchers at MIT have produced the first assessment of the annual costs of IQ losses from aircraft lead emissions in the US. Their study, published in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology , found that that atmospheric lead pollution attributable to leaded aviation gas (avgas) contributes to US$1.06
