Renault held a “2010 Environment Workshop” last week to showcase its progress across its range of vehicles’ full lifecycle through the Renault eco² program. Reduced transmission friction thanks to the use of low viscosity oils. Downsizing alone results in a saving of 6%compared with the engine it replaces. Select Engines.

which are regulated under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) because of their adverse effects on human health and the environment. This has resulted in higher catalyst loading per volume of substrate and led to downsizing of systems from those available in 2010.

Mineta specifically points to the success of the significant reductions in pollutant emissions from passenger cars during the past three decades in response to ever-stricter limits set by state and federal regulators. Impact of different sales mix on new car average fuel economy.

Methanol first surfaced as a potentially interesting transportation fuel in the wake of the oil crisis in 1973. It is a high octane fuel with combustion characteristics that allow engines specifically designed for methanol fuel to match the best efficiencies of diesels while meeting current pollutant emission regulations.

They use cheap, clean, and domestic electricity for short trips and daily commutes, displacing or eliminating oil consumption and CO2 pollution. PHEV - These vehicles combine the advantages of both HEV and EV vehicles. Whats all the fuss about "plugging in", what difference does it make?

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. In fact, the optimized PHEV is much more efficient as a long range liquid fuel vehicle, because the engine is downsized.

The objections they raised for years -- "no one is interested, no one would plug in, the technology is too complex, the benefits are minimal, its just shifting the pollution from the tailpipe to the smokestack, theres no demand for these cars" -- still show up occasionally, but are by and large history. We hope Ford will, and then move ahead!
