Report: The GMC Hummer EV Isn't That Great for the Environment

The Truth About Cars

Big shocker here: Inefficiency is inefficiency, and it doesn’t matter if it comes from a gas or electric powertrain. Big, heavy EVs have proven to be just as wasteful as many of their internal combustion engine counterparts, though they aren’t producing any tailpipe emissions in the process.

EV myths busted: Are electric vehicles safer than gas-powered cars?

Drive Electric

Electric vehicles have historically received a bad reputation for concerns around safety. Issues like thermal runaway, electrocution, and reports of inextinguishable fires plagued the pioneering electric vehicles. Useful terms: Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle (ICEV) and Electric Vehicle (EV). In fact, EVs have just 25.1

Rolls-Royce Power Systems road map for climate-neutrality; 35% cut by 2030 from 2019; key role of mtu engines

Green Car Congress

Rolls-Royce Power Systems has outlined its road map for climate neutrality: Net Zero@Power Systems. By 2030, the Rolls-Royce business unit is to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 35% compared to its 2019 level through the use of new net zero and zero carbon technologies. This is not yet relevant for Rolls-Royce applications.

Cummins unveils 15L hydrogen engine

Green Car Congress

This version, with expected full production in 2027, pairs with clean, zero-carbon hydrogen fuel, a key enabler of Cummins’ strategy to go further faster to help customers reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Reducing well-to-wheels carbon emissions requires innovation of both energy sources and power solutions.

U-M researchers challenge USPS EV environmental study

Green Car Congress

A new University of Michigan study finds that making the switch to all-electric mail-delivery vehicles would lead to far greater reductions in greenhouse gas emissions than previously estimated by the US Postal Service (USPS). The Postal Service said in February that at least 10% of the new mail trucks would be electric.
