A four-tank option enables a 300+ mile range in the CNG Express vans. Last week, the company announced the milestone deployment of its 5,000 th alternative-fuel vehicle, a Chevrolet Express van, as part of the commitment. A 4-tank system provides a range up to 300 miles. Click to enlarge. Earlier post.).
NASA researchers have begun a series of flights using the agency’s DC-8 flying laboratory to study the effects of alternate biofuel on engine performance, emissions and aircraft-generated contrails at altitude. Survey black carbon and gas-phase emissions and contrail properties from commercial aircraft at cruise in air-traffic corridors.
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. Exhaust, Evap, and OBD testing 2. Exhaust and Evap testing + OBD attestation.
Cyclone will utilize Phoenix Power's waste motor oil combustion chamber / heat exchanger (CCHX) to supply steam to the system during these tests, which will also allow the team to document exhaust emissions from the integrated system.

These LNGs are expected to produce 25% fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to the older trucks and use 95% less diesel fuel than the vehicles they replace. The Westport technology uses natural gas as the main fuel with a small amount of diesel delivered at high pressure to the combustion chamber.
Since 2013, AmeriPride Services fleet vans with XL Hybrids technology have driven more than 300,000 road miles, yielding a 24% improvement in fuel economy and reductions in CO 2 and NO x. This translates to nearly 4,500 gallons of fuel saved and a reduction of 40 metric tons of CO 2.
For now, noted Ed Saxman, Volvo Trucks’ Product Marketing Manager, AlternativeFuels, the engines in the customer fleet test trucks in the US are the same as those currently under test in Europe. There is no need for Exhaust Gas Recirculation, EGR cooler, and EGR valve, Saxman said. DME engine in 2015. Selecting DME. Fleisch, A.
The ISL G NZ features the same Stoichiometric cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (SEGR) combustion technology, spark ignition, and simple TWC aftertreatment as the ISL G natural gas engine. g/bhp-hr optional Near Zero NO x Emissions standards. Earlier post.). The ISL G NZ can operate on compressed, liquid, or renewable natural gas (RNG).

BNSF railway will also begin testing a small number of locomotives using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as an alternativefuel later this year. kgal of LNG could support a range of about 2,200 miles (3,540 km), with two locos per tender; a 53-foot intermodal unit-based tender (12.5
The two overhead camshafts are driven by toothed belts; the intake camshaft is variable, further reducing emissions and fuel consumption and improves the power curve in the lower rev range. The engine’s dual-circuit cooling system and integrated water-cooled exhaust manifold enable short engine warm-up times. The eco up!
liter V8 engine will be available to order this summer with a factory-installed, gaseous-fuel prep package that includes upgraded intake and exhaust valves and valve seats. We surveyed customers likely to use natural gas or propane, and 72% told us they want to have these alternative-fuel capabilities available on F-150 with the 5.0-liter
Although Chevy emphasizes the benefits of the 2500HD with the bi-fuel option as a full dual fuel vehicle with a combined range of up to some 650 miles, in more than 500 miles of driving over the course of a week, we used mainly only natural gas. We’ll set aside the business challenges facing alternativefuel providers.).
The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) contracted with the Center for AlternativeFuels, Engines and Emissions at West Virginia University to conduct in-use testing of three light-duty diesel vehicles (two 2.0L diesels and one 3.0L diesel) over pre-defined test routes exhibiting diverse driving conditions.
These technologies include, but are not limited to, advanced aftertreatment and waste heat recovery; lean-burn plus lean-NO x emissions traps; integration of zero-emission miles technologies; further refinements in reducing friction and parasitic energy losses; and widespread utilization of renewable and natural gas and hydrogen blends.
If the manufacturers have no surprises up their exhaust pipes the car will be practical and reasonably priced. The CityCat model will clock out at 68 mph with a driving range of 125 miles. 18% Alternativefuel hybrid. 37% Higher fuel economy. Refueling is simple and will only take a few minutes.
One segment of the on-road fleet that is believed to drive more miles and consume more fuel than the average fleet vehicle is livery (for-hire) vehicles, such as taxis and limousines. They used remote vehicle exhaust sensors to collect emissions measurements, and recorded a video image of the license plate of each vehicle.
In 240 miles driving around Southern California we averaged 23 mpg, but in a 100-mile run with the adaptive cruise control set at 65 mph, we averaged 31.2 This fuel economy is encouraging, but it will take a wide open road with little traffic and lots of patience to equal it.
