Charged EVs

MAY 18, 2021

Federal emissions and fuel economy regulations have been instrumental in encouraging (or coercing) automakers to produce EVs, and to make their legacy vehicles cleaner. Oge led the team that authored the 2010-2025 Light-Duty Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards, and described the process in her 2016 book, Driving the Future.

Production of renewable fuels has been growing rapidly in recent years, while at the same time, advances in vehicle fuel economy and other economic factors have pushed gasoline consumption far lower than what was expected when Congress passed the Renewable Fuel Standard in 2007. In the meantime, AFPM will seek legal intervention.

Navigant suggests that, since the automakers have already designed the vehicles that they will be selling in 2018, they will become more vocal in 2014 to push for changes; the firm expects the dispute to escalate, perhaps resulting in legal action. The ICE is also likely to get efficiency improvements from electric oil and water pumps.

Likewise, as in the previous engine, the oil pump is positioned next to the crankshaft, which facilitates installation in various vehicle architectures. The stepped combustion bowl has a positive effect on the combustion process, the thermal loading of critical areas of the pistons and the ingress of soot into the engine oil.

A 10% reduction in vehicle weight can result in a 6%-8% fuel economy improvement. The propulsion materials area works closely with other VTO technology areas to identify and meet requirements for materials needed to develop cost-effective, highly efficient, and environmentally friendly next-generation heavy and light duty power-trains.

The bill also directs the President to work with the relevant Federal agencies and California to harmonize, to the maximum extent possible, the federal fuel economy standards, any emission standards promulgated by EPA, and the California standards for light-duty vehicles. light duty vehicles—e.g., Appliance Energy Efficiency.

Combined fuel economy (mpg). The 6-speed AT features a high-voltage electric oil pump for improved efficiency. The Sonata PHEV is perfectly capable of handling (legal) Interstate speeds on battery pack alone; however, such operation depletes the battery relatively quickly. Engine power (kW).

The second copy set you gave us is a little light. I said I would consider it, but that I was really hoping to establish a precedent, legally speaking, beyond Torrance. Oh yeah, it’s just coming up with that big up front check in this economy that’s the tough part. People will turn their lights and quit bleeping reading!

For example, fuel economy statistics and a graphic display of the electric range is shown on the navigation map. The actual bursting pressure is much higher still and far exceeds the legal requirements. The result is known as blue crude, which—similar to crude oil—can be refined to create the end product Audi e-diesel.
