ICCT: decline in diesel sales will have negligible impact on attainment of European CO2 emission standards

Green Car Congress

The ICCT notes that while diesels generally consume less fuel than comparable gasoline vehicles, CO 2 emissions from diesel engines are not lower in the same proportion, for various reasons. On top of the higher energy density of diesel fuel, diesel engines historically possessed a number of efficiency advantages over gasoline engines.

Study finds technology cost of achieving European 2020 LDV CO2 targets more than offset by resultant fuel savings

Green Car Congress

A report published by Cambridge Econometrics and Ricardo-AEA concludes that overall, the cost of technologies required to meet proposed European 2020 CO 2 regulations for vehicles (95 g/km for cars and 147 g/km for vans) will be more than offset by the resultant fuel savings. The project is taking a phased approach.

Cummins ETHOS 2.8L optimized E-85 engine demonstrates 50-80% reduction in CO2 emissions in medium-duty truck

Green Car Congress

For the CEC project, approved in 2011, Cummins originally envisioned adapting a medium-duty engine specifically to use E85 fuel, reducing the engine size from 6.7L as a means to increase fuel efficiency, and developing the integrated start/stop system.
