Pre-series-production eActros 300 Tractor drives 3,000 km from Germany to Turkey for testing

Green Car Congress

Test engineers chose a route across Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Bulgaria for the trip. In addition, when driving with foresight, electrical energy can be recovered through recuperation. The energy gained when braking is fed back into the batteries of the eActros, and is then once more available for driving.

New laser system for fuel ignition may lead to reduced auto emissions, greater fuel efficiency

Green Car Congress

Spark plugs can ignite leaner fuel mixtures, but only by increasing spark energy. Equally important, Taira says, lasers inject their energy within nanoseconds, compared with milliseconds for spark plugs. By using several 800-picosecond-long pulses, however, they can inject enough energy to ignite the mixture completely.
