Toyota reduces fuel consumption and emissions across the new Auris range; 13% average reduction in CO2 compared to predecessors; gasoline, diesel and hybrid

Green Car Congress

All new Auris diesel engines benefit from low compression ratios, optimized combustion chamber dimensions and enhanced Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) cooler efficiency. Dual VVT-i helps boost response levels across the entire rev range by varying the air-fuel intake and exhaust valve timing to suit the conditions at any given time.

BMW: “We don’t cheat”; diesel is needed to hit CO2 targets; call for WLTP and RDE

Green Car Congress

In other words, our exhaust treatment systems are active whether rolling on the test bench or driving on the road. Meeting future requirements will not be feasible without diesel drive trains, since a diesel engine emits roughly 15 to 20% less CO 2 on average than a comparable petrol engine.

Norwegian/Finnish studies find Euro 6 cars exceeding NOx and CO2 type limits in real-world conditions; below on PM

Green Car Congress

Based on the measurements of the 12 heavy vehicles with new Euro VI approved engines and seven Euro 6 approved cars with diesel engines, they drew two clear conclusions when it comes to exhaust emissions: All the tested heavy vehicles with Euro VI engines have very low emissions of NO x and PM in real traffic.

As a reduced cost concept, it aims to make more intelligent use of electrical energy to achieve the desired reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The exhaust gas can reach temperatures greater than 900 °C, whereas the turbine upper functional limit is 850 °C. Rick Quinn, senior manager for advanced engineering.

Researchers argue crop-based biofuels only show GHG savings because of LCA accounting flaw; the need for “additional” biomass

Green Car Congress

They do so in critical part by ignoring the carbon emitted as CO 2 from the exhaust pipes of vehicles that use biofuels, as well as the CO2 emitted by fermentation. In this case, the LCAs that automatically ignore the CO 2 emitted by vehicle exhaust pipes are not only incomplete, they have no direct justification for doing so.

“Energiewende” in a tank; Audi e-fuels targeting carbon-neutral driving with synthetic fuels from renewables, H2O and CO2; Swiss policy test case

Green Car Congress

Around 1,500 Audi A3 Sportback g-tron cars can be driven 15,000 carbon-neutral kilometers (9,300 miles) each year on the e-gas from Werlte, since the CO 2 emitted from the exhaust system had been bound previously during the production of the e-gas. The CO2-free sorbent can be re-used for many adsorption/desorption cycles.

Which is best for the environment: EV or ICE? Here’s the truth about CO2 emissions across the lifecycle of new cars

EV Central

Fortunately plenty of reputable organisations have examined the issues surrounding CO2 emissions for EVs. And thats before you factor in the EV benefits around other emissions, such as noxious exhaust gases. Detailed research from science agencies, respected analysts and car manufacturers has resulted in authoritative data.
