EPA proposes stringent new emissions standards for light-, medium-, heavy-duty vehicles for MY 2027 and beyond

Green Car Congress

The proposal retains the proven regulatory design of previous EPA standards for light-duty vehicles, but leverages advances in clean car technology to further reduce both climate pollution and smog- and soot-forming emissions. EPA is also proposing to eliminate commanded enrichment for ICE-powered vehicles for power and component protection.

Toyota details design of fuel cell system in Mirai; work on electrode catalysts

Green Car Congress

Hybrid systems are a core technology that Toyota is adopting in every form of its next-generation vehicles; the Mirai uses the same motor, power control unit (PCU), and hybrid battery as existing Toyota hybrids. It is known that platinum nanoparticles degrade while the fuel cell is generating electricity, thus reducing its output.
