EPA to develop options to reduce NOx and PM from locomotives further

Green Car Congress

EPA adopted its first regulation to control the emissions from new locomotives and their engines in 1998. The Tier 2 standards began phasing in for new locomotives and engines built in 2005. In addition, the very slow natural fleet turnover of this sector results in older locomotives and locomotive engines remaining in use for decades.

Santa Monica signs 5-year deal with Clean Energy for renewable LNG for bus fleet; deploying CWI Near-Zero NOx engine

Green Car Congress

The City of Santa Monica, California has awarded Clean Energy a multi-year liquefied natural gas (LNG) contract to fuel its Big Blue Bus (BBB) fleet of vehicles. BBB began using Redeem by Clean Energy in January 2015. This reduces engine related methane emissions by 70%. Earlier post.). ISL G Near-Zero 0.02 Earlier post.)

KAUST team develops computational model for simulating soot production in gasoline direct injection engines

Green Car Congress

Researchers at KAUST have developed a computational model capable of simulating soot production inside gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines. This new computer model could help car makers improve their engines to cut soot formation. Gasoline contains straight and branched-chain aliphatics, aromatics, alkenes, and cycloalkanes.

ICCT assesses impact of EV battery manufacturing life-cycle emissions debt; policy implications

Green Car Congress

Analysts at the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) have reviewed recent research into the greenhouse gas emissions from the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles. Among the general findings from the analysis: Electric cars are much cleaner than internal combustion engine cars over their lifetime.

California ARB petitions US EPA for “Tier 5” stricter locomotive emissions standards

Green Car Congress

These new standards are to include standards for newly manufactured locomotives (which ARB refers to as “Tier 5”), and a new standard for Tier 4 locomotives upon remanufacture. ARB is also requesting new remanufacturing standards equal to or more stringent than current Tier 4 emission levels for Tier 2 and 3 locomotive engines.

Mazda introduces HAZUMI concept along with new 1.5-liter SKYACTIV-D diesel

Green Car Congress

The system is referred to as MZD Connect in other markets.) This compact and lightweight clean diesel engine is designed for combustion efficiency, just like the larger displacement SKYACTIV-D 2.2. The result is cleaner combustion with low NO x and soot emissions. Earlier post.) SKYACTIV-D 1.5. Click to enlarge.
