The buses are expected to be delivered to Denver Regional Transportation District (RTD) later this year. The new Denver RTD buses will operate on the 16 th Street Mall in downtown Denver. The lithium-ion batteries recover kinetic energy from the bus brakes via a regenerative braking system to extend the range.
Audi of America announced an expansion of Traffic Light Information to include Green Light Optimized Speed Advisory (GLOSA), another industry first in vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) technologies from the brand. Enabled metro areas include: Dallas, Denver, Gainesville, Fla.; Phoenix, Portland, Ore.; and northern Virginia.
Audi is introducing the vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) service “Traffic Light Information” in Europe. From July, Audi will network new models with the traffic lights in Ingolstadt/Germany; further European cities will follow from 2020 onwards. With the Traffic Light Information function, drivers are more in control.

The global economic recession of 2008—which severely depressed light-duty vehicle sales—resulted in an increase in the age of the light-duty vehicle fleet in the US that likely slowed the rate of decrease of fleet average emissions, according to a study by Gary Bishop and Donald Stedman at the University of Denver.
earlier post ), is partnering with Equipment Maintenance Innovators (EMI-Global) to distribute HHS hydraulic hybrid retrofit systems for light- and medium-duty commercial fleet vehicles. HHS’s upfit solution is a high-efficiency, light-weight parallel hydraulic hybrid propulsion system inserted within the driveline of a vehicle.
Interesting, but not even half as mind blowing as the work of genius and inventor Donald Stedman, who was a chemist at the University of Denver. More than 30 years ago, Stedman came up with a machine that could instantly measure and analyse the emissions of cars driving past, used infrared light.
A study by researchers from the University of Denver and the University of Puget Sound indicates that high-mileage light-duty fleets contribute higher emissions and emissions share than expected based on their actual numbers in the fleet. In their study, Bishop et al. —Bishop et al. Bishop, Donald H. Stedman, Daniel A.
Studies show drivers encounter an average of 10 to 15 red lights and stop signs on a typical 20 mile commute, which can add 5 to 15 minutes of idle time and wasted gas. Some communities—such as Denver, Colo. A study by the United States Department of the Treasury estimates that congestion consumed an extra 1.9

million barrels or 3.8325 billion gallons annually of cleaner transportation fuels including gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel from crudes sourced domestically from the Anadarko, Permian, Denver and Julesburg, and Bakken Basins. The refinery complex will reduce and eliminate 95% of greenhouse gas emissions while producing approximately 91.25
Merkurs have become rare junkyard sightings during the past decade, though, and so I was pleased to find this discarded Scorpio in a Denver car graveyard last week. Don't light matches under the hood! The Merkur Scorpio was sold for just the 1988 and 1989 model years (and was the only Merkur model during its final year).
At the 8 th US-China Energy Efficiency Forum in Denver, Foton Motor and Cummins signed a Memorandum of Green Power and Smart Truck Cooperation Development. Under the MoU, Foton Motor and Cummins will launch an in-depth cooperation to boost energy-saving, low-carbon and green development.

In contrast to the “green light” for coal-to-NG substitution for power generation, the authors suggest that climate benefits from vehicle fuel substitution are uncertain (gasoline, light-duty) or improbable (diesel, heavy-duty). Definitions of error bar bounds vary between studies. (US, See SM for figure construction details.
Many airports have backup generators to help them maintain critical functions like air traffic control and lighting during power outages. Setting up arrays of solar panels, like the thousands that the Denver airport has already installed or those coming to J.F.K., But those standard emergency measures have limitations.

Before now, I'd documented just a singled discarded example: a gold '84 in Denver back in 2012. I wasn't able to get to the build tag, but I know this car is a 1984 model because it has quad headlights but no (1985-up) Liddy Light. This one is in rough shape, wedged tightly between a LeBaron convertible and a Mitsubishi-built Sapporo.

Although LA Metro has invested $9-billion investment in new light rail and subway lines, the system now sas fewer boardings than it did three decades ago, when buses were the only option. A customized version of this app will be rolled out by the City of Denver in February 2016. The decline appears to be accelerating.

The closest I'd come was a '77 two-door in Denver , but then I hit pay dirt in a Northern California yard last week. The factory idiot lights must have been insufficient for one of this car's early owners, because these aftermarket gauges have been installed. Behold the November 1974 date of manufacture on the build sticker!
Most large urban areas in the United States have already invested in some type of mass transit system (subway or light rail) and urban maglev poses a fundamental change in technology that is viewed as being both a major risk and cost-prohibitive by transit agencies and investors, according to the report.
