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.

Mercedes-Benz powering ahead with €3B strategic engine initiative; increasing electrification, 48V; diesel and gasoline; cylinder deactivation

Green Car Congress

For the mobility of the future, we are deliberately not committing ourselves to one solitary form of drive system, but to a coexistence of efficient and clean petrol engines, diesels, plug-in hybrids, battery and hydrogen drive systems. The new six-cylinder in-line gasoline engine M 256 features a 48 V electrical system.

New Toyota Highlander turbocharged engine offers more torque and fewer emissions

Green Car Congress

The new engine, standard across all gasoline grades, is also more environmentally conscious, with more than a 50% reduction in NO x and NMOG compared to the outgoing V6 engine. The 2023 Highlander turbo models offer a choice of FWD or two different available AWD systems. This results in a significant 17% increase over the previous 3.5-liter

ADEPT project to apply gasoline engine HyBoost system to diesel; 48V architecture; full hybrid fuel economy at much lower cost

Green Car Congress

In the HyBoost project, Ricardo, Ford Motor Company, Control Power Technologies (CPT) and the European Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium (EALABC) demonstrated a concept they termed “intelligent electrification”. ADEPT will also use a carbon-enhanced capacitive lead-acid battery, offering a high power-to-weight ratio.
