Since its launch in 2010, the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) has provided more than $63 million to help California fleets statewide purchase more than 430 zero-emission trucks and buses and 1,800 hybrid trucks and buses.
The main conclusions of the report include: Compared to emission controls on MY 2010 US diesel trucks, today’s compact aftertreatment systems are 40% lighter, 60% smaller, and substantially less expensive. This has resulted in higher catalyst loading per volume of substrate and led to downsizing of systems from those available in 2010.

Although the purchase price of NGVs is higher than diesel trucks, the significantly reduced life cycle operating cost of NGVs is conducive to operating the heavy-duty trucks on natural gas, the companies said. Additionally, because of cleaner combustion, the average operating life of NGVs is considerably longer.
Lithium-ion battery costs have already dropped by 65% since 2010, reaching $350 per kWh last year. We expect EV battery costs to be well below $120 per kWh by 2030, and to fall further after that as new chemistries come in. This would be equivalent to nearly 8% of global electricity demand in 2015. Although some 1.3
A new European Joint Research Center (JRC) analysis on the deployment of electric vehicles (EV) in Europe concludes that although the sector evolved significantly between 2010 and 2017, progress is still small to be characterized as full-scale commercialization. In 2010, electric vehicles still represented a niche market.

The company originally described the system in a 2010 SAE paper (2010-01-1222) and at the 2010 World Congress. Although this reduces the window of operation and fuel economy benefit to 2-4%, it also eliminates vehicle adaptation cost. Total cost of implementation is much less than $10/1%, he said. and Sisson, J.

Globally 131 million tons of ammonia were produced in 2010. Globally 245 million tons of CO 2 were released by the ammonia industry in 2010 equivalent to about 50% of the UK CO 2 emissions (495.8 In industry, extensive purification of N 2 and H 2 is needed and this remarkably increases the overall cost of the process.
With the exception of 2010, emissions have declined every year since 2007. To conduct the study, Pratson and his team assessed the cost of electricity generation at plants producing 95% of the nation’s coal-fired electricity and 70% of its natural gas-powered electricity. Duke study.
Currently (2010), electrified products (only hybrids at this point) represent 1% of Ford’s global fleet. If you hold a BEV at a constant range of 100 miles, over time the cost of the battery pack comes down, she noted, and begins to converge to equal the replacement cost of the powerpack of a plug-in.
