Today we''ve got reports on the growth of workplace electric-car charging, impeding expiration of the Federal hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle tax credit, and a new hybrid powertrain that sues exhaust gases to generate electricity. All this and more on Green Car Reports.
Prices for classic electric Range Rovers by Lunaz start at £245,000 (US$329,000) excluding local taxes. It starts with an exhaustive inspection. The company, based in Silverstone, England will create an initial run of 50 of the luxury SUVs built in the ‘classic era’ between 1970 and 1994.
Under provisions of a fiscal 2009 tax reform bill, Japan will waive an automobile weight tax for people buying hybrid cars and electric vehicles. Normally, people purchasing new cars pay the automobile acquisition tax, which is equivalent to roughly 5% of the car’s price, and three years’ worth of the weight tax.
Changes include raising the federal EV tax rebate ceiling to $12,500 and opening the door for automakers who already exhausted their production quotas. The post Senate Finance Committee Approves $12,500 EV Tax Credit Bill appeared first on The Truth About Cars.
liter engine qualify for Japan’s eco-car incentive program and are subject to 50% less tax under the government’s eco-car tax reduction program. All grades equipped with a 2.0-liter
The 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee mid-size SUV has become the second gasoline-driven, US-made, US-brand vehicle to qualify for Japan’s Eco-Car tax break. The Grand Cherokee that qualifies for Japan’s Eco-Tax incentive is powered by an upgraded version of the award-winning Pentastar V-6. The 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk was first.
Unlike exhaust-driven turbochargers, electric superchargers are driven by an electric motor. CPT was advised on the transaction by Turquoise International (corporate finance) and Matthew Arnold Baldwin (legal & tax). VTES will be integrated into Valeo’s Powertrain Systems Business Group with immediate effect.
Chevrolet engineers modified the Volt’s engine and exhaust components—specifically the catalytic converter—by adding a secondary air-injection pump that streams ambient air into the exhaust stream to increase its ability to remove pollutants. This incentive is in addition to the federal government’s $7,500 tax credit.
The new Cima achieves both a 20% improvement in fuel economy (JC08 mode) over 2015 standards and SU-LEV certification, emitting 75% fewer exhaust emissions than 2005 standards.
An actuator in the exhaust system, as fitted to the first SQ5 TDI, gives the V6 a sonorous sound. This offers the advantage since exhaust gas cleaning responds more quickly. The exhaust manifold benefits from improved insulation; the exhaust gas reaches the optimum temperature more quickly after a cold start. liters (0.2
The vehicles also exceed the MLIT fuel efficiency standard for 2015 by 20% and achieve emissions levels 75% lower than the 2005 standards under the MLIT''s Approval System for Low-Emission Vehicles, making them eligible for tax reductions under the Japanese government’s tax incentive program for environment-friendly vehicles.
Its turbocharger with variable turbine geometry makes optimal use of the exhaust gas energy for early and harmonious torque development. The Audi A3 Sportback 30 g-tron is also a leader when it comes to economy, in part because of the favorable tax rate on natural gas and biomethane in Germany until 2026. The A3 Sportback 30 g-tron 1.5
The new Nissan Fuga Hybrid achieves a 25% improvement in fuel economy over 2010 standards and SU-LEV certification, emitting 75% less exhaust compared to 2005 standards. The new Nissan Fuga Hybrid is the third in the series of 'PURE DRIVE vehicles to be introduced in Japan.
All grades of the next-generation Skyline turbo model achieve the 2015 fuel economy standard, qualifying for tax breaks. In addition, all grades reduce emissions of NO x and NMHC (non-methane hydrocarbon) by 75%, achieving SU-LEV certification by emitting 75% fewer exhaust emissions than 2005 standards.
Do they get state or federal tax breaks? In fact in 6 of the states, diesel fuel is penalized with additional state taxes. So diesel fuel gets taxed twice or penalized twice at the federal and state level. Changes in the exhaust manifolds and turbo from Gen 1 to Gen 2. Exhaust gas aftertreatment system, shown in an A7.
g/km and PM emissions of 0.005 g/km—reductions by 47% and 64% respectively from the levels required by the New Long-term Regulations (exhaust emission standards) which have been in effect in Japan since 2005 (applicable to vehicles weighing more than 1,265 kg). Post New Long-term Regulations stipulate NO x emissions of 0.08
The new Skyline achieves 20% improvement in fuel economy over 2015 standards and SU-LEV certification, emitting 75% fewer exhaust emissions than 2005 standards, thereby fully exempting it from the automobile acquisition tax and automobile weight tax in every grade.
an increased B/S ratio, an Atkinson cycle for improved combustion efficiency, an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system, a series of friction-reducing measures and an engine control system that is uniquely optimized for high thermal efficiency targets. The Xiaoyun engine features a high compression ratio (CR) of 15.5,
Additionally, the newest EcoBoost engine will be a strategic entry for Ford in global markets that offer tax relief to consumers who purchase vehicles powered by engines of 1.5-liter liter EcoBoost such as an integrated exhaust manifold. liter capacity or less. The new aluminum-block, twin-cam 1.5-liter liter V6 EcoBoost in 2009.
The 1.4L’s turbocharger is integrated within the exhaust manifold, for reduced weight and greater packaging flexibility. The suggested retail price of the Sonic begins at $14,495 including destination but excluding tax, title, license and dealer fees. Electronically controlled thermostat.
Both SCR and EGR are used in the aftertreatment of the exhausts. The attributes of biodiesel fuel lead to an increased proportion of ash in the exhaust fumes, leading to shorter service intervals and a slightly increased consumption of fuel. Both fuel and AdBlue consumption may increase by 10% in an engine run on 100 percent biodiesel.
The exhaust gas treatment system implements close-coupled DPF technology which efficiently integrates the oxidizing catalytic converter and the particulate filter (CCDPF). The component is compact to reduce exhaust counter-pressure with beneficial effects in terms of fuel reduction and CO 2 emissions. New 120 HP 1.4
At this point, we have exhausted all viable options. In the fourth quarter of 2009, the company expects to report a pre-tax charge of approximately $1.7 per share after taxes, related primarily to asset impairment, employee severance and other shutdown costs. —Valero Chairman and CEO Bill Klesse. billion to $1.8
This can be combined with an up to $7,500 clean vehicle federal tax credit and various other regional incentives. The program has leveraged state funds to provide about $210 million in private financing since 2009 to help truck owners purchase cleaner trucks, exhaust retrofits and truck efficiency upgrades.
The 4-2-1 exhaust system is introduced to the SKYACTIV-G 2.0-liter It improves fuel economy by approximately 9% and delivers more torque than the previous model with a 4-1 exhaust system. The SKYACTIV-HYBRID model qualifies for full tax exemption. On the gasoline side, the powertrain lineup includes a new SKYACTIV-G 1.5-liter
All models achieve emissions levels 75% lower than the 2005 standards under the MLIT’s Approval System for Low-Emission Vehicles and are eligible for tax reductions under the Japanese government’s tax incentive program for environment-friendly vehicles. In addition, the optional Toyota Stop & Start idling-stop function available on 1.5-liter
Exhaust emissions have been significantly reduced, so that regular models in the new Picanto line-up will have a CO 2 rating of 95 to 105 g/km. liter four-cylinder gasoline Kappa power unit—depending on individual markets. The bi-fuel 1-liter engine will generate 82 ps (81 hp; 60 kW) and 94 N·m (69 lb-ft) of torque.
It is mounted close to the exhaust outlet of the engine for quicker spool-up of the turbine and faster light-off of the exhaust catalyst. A precise exhaust gas recirculation control system features a high-capacity cooler and bypass feature that enable the engine to meet US and Canadian emissions regulations.
The key NO x reduction technology for trucks is Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), which requires the controlled dosing of a diesel exhaust fluid called AdBlue to enable effective NO x reduction. The additional 14,000 tonnes of NO x would make it twice the size of the Volkswagen “Dieselgate” scandal of 2015, noted environmental NGO T&E.
Euro-4 is achieved through use of an EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) system and catalytic converter with replaceable filter. The Russian Ministry of Energy further recommended to reduce the tax rates for vehicles that use natural gas as a motor fuel, from 1 January 2014 through to 2020.
Only sulphur-free fuels may be used for engines complying with the future Tier 4 Interim / Stage III B emissions standard in order to ensure that the exhaust gas aftertreatment components installed in these engines, i.e. the filters and catalytic converters, function properly. They must use an EN590 quality sulphur-free heating oil.
The turbo also improves exhaust aftertreatment by enabling quick heating of the catalyst. This technology has made it possible to shape the exhaust ducts to allow an optimal gas flow and generate the maximum pulse effect for the highest possible turbine efficiency. The new Volvo-developed turbo system. Click to enlarge.
Traffic exhaust is a growing threat in fast-expanding cities in China and India, as the steady increase in the number of cars and trucks on the road undermines efforts to curb vehicle emissions. This is often because the taxes on vehicles and fuels favor diesel.
TDI are still sparse at this time, Keogh said the block, heads, cooling system, engine management, turbo and exhaust components are all new. In 2009, Audi launched the A3 and Q7 TDI models in the US. At the time, said Keogh, Audi would have been delighted if the TDI models constituted 20% of our Q7 and A3 sales mix. —Scott Keogh.
The Outlander PHEV will have a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of ¥3,324,000–¥4,297,000 (US$38,972–$50,380), including consumption tax. Additionally, exhaust noise has been reduced and the engine room soundproofing increased in order to ensure the vehicle remains as quiet as EV Drive Mode, even when the engine is in use.
A variable-vane turbocharger enables the engine to deliver more power with lower exhaust emissions and no decrease in overall fuel efficiency. NO x emissions are controlled via a Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) after-treatment system that uses urea-based Diesel (Emission) Exhaust Fluid (DEF).
The 120T grade is eligible for the Japanese government’s subsidies and tax incentives for eco-cars. The engine pairs a single-scroll turbocharger with a cylinder head that uses an integrated water-cooled exhaust manifold to optimize exhaust temperature. km/L (46 mpg US, 5.15
Global-mean temperature change caused by car exhaust emitted from gasoline and diesel engines specified in the previous and upcoming European vehicle emission standards (EURO 3, 4, 5, and 6). After the UK had begun taxing vehicles according to CO 2 emissions, the share of registered new diesel cars increased from 26% in 2002 to 38% in 2005.
At the end of 2010, tax credits from the Energy Policy Act of 2005 were phased out. Without a tax credit to offset the price premium, consumers must absorb all of this additional cost. Furthermore, aggressive government subsidies are unlikely to be sustainable over the long term. However, this consumer group is relatively small.
The new 16-liter V8 engine meets Euro 6 requirements with EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) and water-cooled SCR (selective catalytic reduction) aftertreatment. And if there are additional cost benefits, such as lower taxes, then biodiesel is a very attractive alternative for many customers. —Joel Granath.
Allowing for this, the report concludes, to effectively electrify the global car market by 2050—by which time the exhaustion of oil reserves may make electrification an urgent necessity—EV production would need to increase by an average 2 million units/year over 23 years.
Lux Research compiled a non-exhaustive list of major global cities that have either called for a ban or are introducing restrictions to limit the number of diesel vehicles—a step we believes will eventually move towards a ban. No cities or countries have imposed a blanket ban.
A recent example is the Chevrolet Cruze, for which Bosch supplies the diesel fuel injection system along with the exhaust-gas treatment system, engine control system, ceramic spark plugs, and sensors. In general, because of the import restrictions and taxes, vehicles are very expensive in Brazil.
Starting price (including taxes) for the SKYACTIV-G 1.3 A cooled EGR system cools part of the exhaust gas and returns it to the combustion chamber in order to suppress knocking. Combined with an updated version of Mazda’s idling stop system, i-stop, and a continuously variable transmission (CVT), SKYACTIV-G 1.3 km/L (84 mpg US, 2.8
