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. Malcolm Gladwell spent a day by with him in Denver watching the machine at work beside a busy highway and quickly realised that very few vehicles set it off.
This is contrary to what is typically assumed and suggests a new way to mitigate this type of pollution in Salt Lake City, Denver and beyond. exceed national air quality standards an average of 18 days per year.

To complement its work on real-world emissions in Europe, TRUE has compiled remote sensing data from the states of Colorado and Virginia and the University of Denver to investigate the emissions of US light-duty vehicles. Remote sensing campaigns continue to find that real-world emissions can be much higher than emission standards.

Seven of the past 11 doomed vehicles covered in this series have been General Motors products , so it's probably time to switch to… oh, to hell with it, I just found one of the very last Saturns in a Denver-area car graveyard and I must write about it immediately. That makes it the most expensive Saturn model ever sold.
But those standard emergency measures have limitations. Denver International Airport has multiple connections to the grid in case one fails, but it recently also put in place a solar-powered battery storage system to keep its underground trains running in an emergency. can help reduce an airports carbon footprint.
That day has come, with this 2015 model in a Denver self-service boneyard. The Denver U-Pull-&-Pay had this photo in the "Misc" make section , and it looked intriguing enough to make me look up the VIN. If you can save lives and avoid getting sued into oblivion at the same time, that's well worth doing.
At last month’s World Renewable Energy Forum 2012 in Denver, Colorado, researchers from the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory presented papers on two different approaches to upgrade pyrolysis oils to hydrocarbon fuels or fuel intermediates. The oil quality criteria were good volatility (>90% volatile matter); low oxygen content (.
Case study: Early electric tugs designed specifically for GM In 2006, GM came to Eagle Tugs with a project to standardize its tow tractor (tugger) fleet across all its plants worldwide. Each bus can travel approximately 230 miles on a charge, and it takes four hours to fully recharge the bus.
Based on our half-day of driving the new Tiguan in the foothills of Denver, the automaker has succeeded on the quality front. A Start/Stop system is standard for all Tiguan trims. The Tiguan is the only vehicle in its class to offer the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System, which is standard on all models.
I've long thought that the "bustleback" 1980-1985 Cadillac Seville was even goofier-looking than those two, and I've found this '82 in a Denver-area car graveyard to share with you. The fake-wood dash was standard on all Sevilles, but the "Symphony Sound" AM/FM/cassette radio cost $225 extra ($765 in today's frogskins).
Chicago, Portland, Boston, Seattle, Philadelphia, Denver, Houston, Miami, and Raleigh—and several highway corridors. 50+ kW Direct Current (DC) fast charging will serve ZEV needs in shorter dwell time situations and along highway corridors, utilizing non-proprietary charging standards (CCS and CHAdeMO).
Today's Junkyard Find is one of the very last third-gen Camaros ever built, found in a Denver car graveyard recently. Along with stickers from cannabis dispensaries , this one is standard equipment on junkyard-bound cars in Front Range Colorado. The MSRP for a 1992 Camaro RS coupe with 5.0,

Some of the challenges faced by urban maglev include: Slower speeds, due to the short distances between stops. Urban maglev should require a maximum speed of about 100 mph. Obtaining rights of way in an urban area will be very challenging.
Last week, a first-model-year Lark sedan showed up at a self-service yard just south of Denver , and I was there to document it in its final parking spot. The firewall tag says it's a 59V Deluxe, which the Standard Catalog describes as being built only for "special order sales, Marshal sales, fleet sales and sales outside the United States."
The San Pedro Ports Clean Air Action Plan will start imposing a container rate, scheduled to start next year, on containers that are hauled by trucks that do not meet stricter emission standards.

Here's one of those cars, found in a car graveyard near Denver recently. These cars were flaky daily drivers even by lenient Malaise Era standards (though they did get decent fuel economy), but an X1/9 is a great choice as a fun project car today. Just the car for a romantic drive across the salt flats.
The increasing power requirements must be balanced with the provisioning of sustainable energy supplies that meet and exceed environmental standards. The partners will present first project results with a prototype system at this year’s SuperComputing 2017 conference in Denver, 13-17 November.
Finally, in a Denver-area boneyard , I found this battered '93 GXE sedan.

After years of intensive Mercedes-Benz-backed lobbying, H.R.2628
Calais is neither warm nor particularly rich and it got comprehensively obliterated during World War II, but the name must have seemed exotic and classy by 1960s Michigan standards. At least the Delco AM/FM radio (with extra-chintzy-looking cassette-door block-off plate) came standard. Priorities! Only 88,521 miles at the end.
Chrysler managed the feat for the 1949 model year; we admired a Plymouth Special Deluxe sedan from that year in a Colorado car graveyard last summer, and today we're going to take a look at an example of one of the last of the stopgap postwar Chrysler products : this '48 Dodge in a yard just south of Denver.
