MECA report finds additional NOx emission reductions from new heavy-duty trucks achievable and cost-effective

Green Car Congress

The transportation sector was responsible for over 7 million tons of NO x emissions in the US in 2014, with 50% of this sector’s NO x attributed to heavy-duty on- and off-road vehicles and equipment. CO 2 and NO x certification test data for heavy-duty diesel engines certified from 2002 through 2019. Source of data: US EPA (2019).

MECA report assesses technology feasibility for heavy-duty diesel trucks to meet lower NOx standards by 2024

Green Car Congress

The Manufacturers of Emission Controls Association (MECA) released a report assessing market-ready technologies being commercialized by suppliers of emission control and efficiency components for heavy-duty diesel vehicles to meet lower intermediate standards for oxides of nitrogen (NO x ) by 2024 as a transition to final standards in 2027.

Pierburg GmbH electric compressor for turbos

Green Car Congress

The electric compressor fits in well and without any constraints with the proven strategy of downsizing, the company said. The motor and the electronic components are cooled by a water jacket connected to the engine cooling system. The compressor is compatible with both gasoline and diesel engines.

Renault 2010 Environment Workshop, Part 1: Combustion Engine Technology and Product Plans

Green Car Congress

Renault’s ongoing downsizing strategy is aimed at reducing the cubic capacity of its engines in order to bring down fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions, without detracting from performance. Reduced transmission friction thanks to the use of low viscosity oils. 190 N·m), yet its downsized 1,397cc block is more fuel efficient.

Further, the e-unit block has a sophisticated water jacket and 3D printed core. Other significant exhibits were the oil, water and vacuum pumps which, electrically driven, act independently of the engine load and hence lower fuel consumption and emissions. This valve is already in series production in the US.
