Europe’s Euro 7 emission limits face pushback from 8 international locations

Baua Electric

8 Ecu Union countries together with France and Italy referred to as for the bloc to scrap deliberate Euro 7 exhaust emission limits, announcing they’re overly determined and unrealistic for automakers to strike. The worry is that the transition to electrical may lead to 1000’s of process losses within the sector.

The importance of considering non-exhaust traffic emissions; the role of EVs

Green Car Congress

the criteria pollutants and CO 2 that emerge with the exhaust from the tailpipe. However, there is more than 15 years of research showing that the contribution of non-exhaust primary particles to the total traffic generated primary particles is significant in urban areas. Further, a 2013 review by Denier van der Gon et al. Background.

Study links ambient PM2.5 and ozone specifically caused by vehicle exhaust emissions to ~361,000 premature deaths worldwide in 2010 and ~385,000 in 2015

Green Car Congress

Exhaust from on-road diesel vehicles was responsible for nearly half of the impacts (~181,000 premature deaths) worldwide, and fully two-thirds in India, France, Germany, and Italy. Consideration of these impacts would likely increase the estimate of health impacts from vehicle exhaust emissions. Source: The ICCT.

Volkswagen continues to optimize its EA888 workhorse engine; fourth evolution in 2022 Golf GTI and R

Green Car Congress

Known internally and to Volkswagen enthusiasts as the “Evo4,” its two most difficult roles might be under the hood of the 2022 Golf GTI and R. The EA888 utilizes a unique exhaust manifold design that is completely contained inside the cylinder head; it can thus be said that the compact turbocharger mounts directly to the engine.

Cummins to purchase SCR doser assets from Hilite International

Green Car Congress

has signed an agreement to acquire the assets associated with the emissions control products of Hilite International. Air-assisted components use onboard compressed air to precisely dose the reduction medium into the exhaust pipe. This can only be achieved through a match between the reductant spray and the exhaust gas flow.
