No legislation is currently in place specifically to limit or reduce NEE particles, so whilst legislation has been effective at driving down emissions of particles from the exhausts of internal-combustion-engine vehicles, the NEE proportion of road traffic emissions has increased.
Also in the highest case scenario, a combination of high EV uptake; improvements in the efficiency of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs); and demand management measures to reduce the amount people drive could potentially deliver a 75% reduction in car emissions by 2030. EVs could provide nearly a third of this emissions reduction.
The right-hand drive hybrid vehicle has been sold more than 1,200 units in markets like Japan, Australia, Ireland, and Hong Kong. When compared to the current Fuso Canter with a conventional diesel engine, the hybrid version uses more than 25% less fuel during a Japanese driving cycle. Earlier post.)
In addition to importing new EV models to Iceland, NLE is also working on developing systems to convert the current internal combustion engine (ICE) car fleet into electric cars. REVA develops all key technologies including energy management, fast-charge and telematics systems in-house.
The research was funded by TOTAL Marketing Services and supported by MaREI, the Science Foundation Ireland Research Centre for Energy, Climate and Marine. Current market research indicates that internal combustion engine sales peaked in 2018 and that from now on sales of electric cars will slowly overtake cars running on fossil fuels.
The inspiration for computed tomography (CT) came from a chance conversation that research engineer Godfrey Hounsfield had with a doctor while on vacation in the 1960s. The IEEE United Kingdom and Ireland Section sponsored the nomination. The physician complained that X-ray images of the brain were too grainy and only two-dimensional.
