Swiss team concludes that particulate filters should be mandatory for GDI engines

Green Car Congress

In the spring 2014, the GasOMeP project (Gasoline Vehicle Emission Control for Organic, Metallic and Particulate Non-Legislative Pollutants) got underway. The carcinogenic potential in one cubic meter of exhaust gas from gasoline direct injectors is up to 1,700 times higher than the EU limit for clean air. Click to enlarge.

Study shows two-stroke scooters dominant source of air pollution in many cities; asymmetric polluters

Green Car Congress

A study by European researchers has found that two-stroke (2S) scooters, although constituting a small fraction of the fleet, can dominate urban vehicular pollution through organic aerosol and aromatic emission factors up to thousands of times higher than from other vehicle classes. Emission factors (EFs) from scooters and other vehicles.

Empa recommends buying diesel vehicles only if Euro 6d-TEMP or Euro 6d

Green Car Congress

On 1 September 2017, new emissions regulations for passenger vehicles come into force in the EU and Switzerland. These will plug the gaps in the existing legislation and will help to ensure that diesel vehicles in particular become considerably cleaner as regards their NO x emissions. At the end of 2016 around 3.1 Image: Empa.

Ford unveils new Focus; 10% better fuel economy; focus on tech; gasoline and diesel

Green Car Congress

Fuel-efficiency and CO 2 emissions from both EcoBoost gasoline engines are enhanced using Ford’s industry-first cylinder deactivation system for a three-cylinder engine, which can automatically stop one of the engine’s cylinders when full capacity is not needed, such as when coasting or cruising with light demand on the engine.

IEEE Discusses 6 Simple Solutions to Climate Change at COP27

Cars That Think

About one-third of emissions globally are produced through electricity generation, and Rahman said his mission is to help reduce that amount through engineering solutions. We want to be a solution partner so we can have parties at the table to help solve this problem of high carbon emissions globally.”

Big Science tools for clean transportation: neutron scattering at ORNL

Green Car Congress

Å, 152 – 1515 m/s) neutrons are preferred due to their favorable detection reactions and due to their very useful contrast behavior, note the scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland. Neutrons, on the other hand, can obtain an appreciable scattering signal from light elements. Å; 1515 - 4374 m/s) and cold (0.12
