The Transport Laboratory has already been able to demonstrate a halving of CO2 emissions per tonne-kilometer from 2008 to 2012, due to skilled drivers, optimized vehicles and lower average speed. Another step is now being taken to show how heavy vehicles can reduce climate emissions to 20 grams per tonne-kilometer.

Thirteen scientists and land use experts conclude in a new paper that an important but fixable error in legal accounting rules used to measure compliance with carbon limits for bioenergy could undermine efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging deforestation. Their paper is published in the 23 Oct. Earlier post.).

The Mercedes solution thus offers an even lower impact on the climate than R1234yf, while avoiding the in-use issues Daimler identified back in 2012. It is the first automobile manufacturer to award not only development contracts but also to place production orders for CO2 air conditioning systems and their components. Earlier post.).
