HEI ACES study of lifetime animal exposure to New Technology Diesel Engine exhaust finds no lung cancer

Green Car Congress

The first study to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of lifetime exposure to new technology diesel exhaust (NTDE)—i.e., exhaust from heavy-duty diesel engines meeting EPA 2007 and later emissions requirements—has found no evidence of carcinogenic lung tumors. Earlier post.)

Researchers develop effective exhaust catalyst for lower temperature exhaust

Green Car Congress

To improve fuel efficiency, advanced combustion engines are being designed to minimize the amount of waste heat in the exhaust. As a result, future generations of exhaust after-treatment catalysts must perform at temperatures that are 100 °C lower than current catalysts. —Nie et al.

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

Green Car Congress

The few effects that were reported for the rats were mild hyperplasia (cell proliferation) in the lungs and slightly reduced lung function, and were most consistent with exposure to nitrogen oxides in the engine exhaust, which are being further reduced under 2010 US EPA standards now in effect. Advanced Collaborative Emissions Study (ACES).

Audi highlights its range of electrification efforts; Q7 diesel PHEV, A7 fuel cell PHEV, BEV, 48V and more; 750 Wh/l by 2025

Green Car Congress

Aerodynamically-optimized design with a drag coefficient of 0.25, the electric e-tron quattro drivetrain delivers up to 370 kW of power output. The two suppliers (LG and Samsung SDI, earlier post ) with which Audi works have each specialized in a particular design. Pouch cells and prismatic cells are more versatile. Second life.

Perspective: Regional Greenhouse Gas Cap-and-Trade Programs May be the Solution

Green Car Congress

states are already actively participating in the design and implementation of three regional cap-and-trade programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. states (Arizona, California, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Washington) and four Canadian provinces (British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec). Participating U.S.
