The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has updated rules making it easier for manufacturers to sell fuel conversion systems—i.e., systems that alter a conventionally-fueled vehicle or engine to enable it to run on an alternativefuel. MY 2010, 2011, 2012 and < useful life mileage. Certification application.
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced that greenhouse gas emissions in California in 2016 fell below 1990 levels for the first time since emissions peaked in 2004—a reduction roughly equivalent to taking 12 million cars off the road or saving 6 billion gallons of gasoline a year.
Conversion systems allow vehicles to run on alternativefuels; most conversions involve switching gasoline or diesel vehicles to operate instead on a gaseous fuel such as natural gas or propane; an alcohol fuel; or electricity. MY 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and < useful life mileage.
The University of California, Davis, will receive $2,770,072 to research the comparative value, benefits and drawbacks of all types of alternativefuels in California. Among the questions to be considered: How much investment is needed to bring the alternativefuel vehicle market to maturity, and when can that be expected?
Initially, the placement of alternatefuel tanks presented a challenge for car haulers utilizing a 9-car trailer with an over-the-cab head rack. Since 2004, SmartWay Partners have saved 144.3 billion in fuel costs. the truck and trailer manufacturers. million barrels of oil and $20.6
An added benefit of the conversion program is that it not only reduces pollution but also extends the life of the vehicles, helping to eliminate waste production and creating a reduce-and-reuse program. The standard FedEx trucks used in the retrofit program were 2000 or 2001 models with 300,000 to 500,000 miles driven.
Next-generation engines will likely operate at higher pressures, with greater amounts of dilution and utilize alternativefuels that exhibit a wide range of chemical and physical properties. Low emission, low temperature engine concepts of the future operate in regimes where combustion is poorly understood.
Cold starts mean more pollution. The catalytic converter that keeps the ICE from being a gross polluter in conventional cars and hybrids however, isn't kept warm by the continual embrace of an ever-churning engine in a hybrid with all-electric range. I'm afraid not. We haven't got the time or money.

It, or a scaled-up version, could also provide a solution for the Asian motor vehicle fleet, in which two-stroke engine vehicles constitute a major share—and contribute significantly to air pollution. —Faiz and Gautam (2004). ASME ICEF2012-92047). 2004.003891.

Several dozen prototypes on 15-passenger van since 2004; now in second generation development; no production plans. The resulting fuel efficiency improvements mean lower CO2 emissions and less fossil fuel consumption and, therefore, less pollution. Daimler/Mercedes Took over Daimler/Chrysler Sprinter PHEV program.
