Siemens and Vinamotor launching first diesel-electric series hybrid bus in Vietnam

Green Car Congress

The buses consume up to 50% less fuel and reduce exhaust emissions by the same amount. In the ELFA system developed by Siemens, the electric motors act as generators during braking and feed electricity back into an energy storage unit. The project is the first of its kind in Vietnam. Vinamotor hybrid. Click to enlarge.

Dearman-led consortium awarded $3.1M to develop waste-heat-recovery system using liquid air engine

Green Car Congress

After each expansion cycle the heat exchange fluid is recovered from the exhaust and reheated to ambient temperature via a heat exchanger similar to a conventional radiator. Some of the heat that will inevitably escape down the exhaust will be converted into electricity using a thermoelectric generator (TEG). Earlier post. ).

ATI FlyZero project finds green liquid hydrogen most viable zero-carbon emission fuel for aircraft

Green Car Congress

FlyZero compared zero-carbon emission energy sources such as batteries, hydrogen and ammonia; the team concluded that green liquid hydrogen is the most viable, able to power large aircraft utilizing fuel cell, gas turbine and hybrid systems. PtL SAF requires more electrical energy to produce than liquid hydrogen.
