MECA report finds additional NOx emission reductions from new heavy-duty trucks achievable and cost-effective

Green Car Congress

History has shown that once emission control and efficiency improving technologies were required on engines, the traditional trade-off relationship between CO 2 and NO x emissions at the tailpipe has been overcome and reductions of both pollutants could be achieved simultaneously.

Jacobson said the information is important because black carbon within clouds makes the clouds “burn off” and disappear over heavily polluted urban and other areas. Emissions of black carbon also involve the co-emission of other pollutants, which can have additional warming or cooling effects.
