European carrier easyJet plans to test an electric taxi system later this year that utilizes a hydrogen fuel cell stowed in the hold, batteries charged by regenerative braking, and electric wheel motors. The energy can then be used by the aircraft when taxiing without needing to use the jet engines. grams CO 2 per passenger kilometer.
The proposed projects focus on reducing petroleum consumption and greenhouse gas emissions through biomethane or natural gas, and installing alternative fuel infrastructure for fleets. USA Waste of California ($489,040 - Match Share $1,051,021). Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District ($3,000,000 - Match Share $2,663,175).
Awards include (ranked by amount): PHL Taxi Management LLC —$900,000 – to purchase and deploy 50 new CNG taxis in Philadelphia that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and to build a publicly accessible CNG fueling station in the city. Waste Management of Pennsylvania Inc. Self Heating & Cooling Inc.
The special fuel, developed by long-time series partner Aral, consists of 50% high-quality renewable components derived from waste products. Audi will use its 2017 Audi RS 5 DTM race-taxi, fitted with an additional passenger seat; R-Motorsport will use an Aston Martin Vantage GT4 race car.
The document focuses on technologies that could substantially reduce the emissions from the commercial fleet of aircraft. New and more efficient narrow-body aircraft could enter the US fleet in the 2030s and new wide-body aircraft in the 2040s. Source: US Aviation Climate Action Plan.
The grants, funded by a portion of the state’s annual utilities gross receipts tax, are intended to encourage new markets for alternative fuels, fleets and technologies across Pennsylvania. This will provide access to the general public and private fleets. Waste Management of PA, Inc. Waste Management of PA, Inc.
The project will deploy 502 alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles through 119 public and private fleets throughout the state. Clean Energy Coalition’s CEC Michigan Green Fleets Initiative. Fleets include transportation authorities, cities, school districts, the University of Michigan, FedEx, and Meijer.
the air district will demonstrate specially designed battery electric taxis that can use switchable batteries to give the vehicles essentially unlimited range. Two battery switching stations, at the international airports in San Francisco and San Jose, and six taxis that use switchable batteries will be used.
The proposals include a lightweight, driverless electric bus; a system to improve the efficiency of urban freight transport; a bus-taxi hybrid (a “buxi”); a low carbon, community-managed car club; plus two variants of lightweight, single seat electric vehicles. It combines the efficiency of a bus with the flexibility of a taxi.
These fuel cell vehicles will be leased to key public and private fleet users in the capital. We also produce a huge amount of waste and we are looking at schemes that convert biomass into hydrogen. So as well as producing a clean fuel we would be reducing the amount of waste we put into landfill. Under the hood. Earlier post.).
As part of the fourth funding call “electromobility”, municipal vehicle fleets—e.g., waste disposal vehicles and public transport (ÖPNV) such as electric buses—will be promoted. Procurement of electric vehicles in the taxi industry and car-sharing companies is also being supported. —Andreas Scheuer.
The heat supply is ensured by using the waste heat from the manufacturing machines together with thermal heat pumps. The generated solar power will be stored in stationary Kreisel batteries (1,000 kWh) to secure the continuous power supply for building and charging stations. Kreisel has also swapped out VW’s 24.2 from 120 to 267 miles.
We want to provide ‘Connected Transportation’ to trucks, buses, subways, taxis, planes, police cars and ambulances so that they can be instantly linked through voice, data and images. The camera records the dangerous action and notifies the parents or fleet manager. —Dan Hesse.
The project will include converting a portion of the non-tactical fleet to electric drive vehicles that will be able to connect to the electric power grid intelligently to ensure optimal electric power grid function. The South Coast Air Quality Management District received several awards. Garden City Sanitation, Inc.,
integrating systems where the waste product of one process is utilized as the feedstock of the next); and/or technologies that reduce external energy inputs (e.g. The vehicle fleet applications of interest are commercial vehicles that return to their fleet facility at the end of their daily shift operations.
The new city taxi franchise agreement calls for alternative fuel or high mileage vehicles to replace 25% of the fleet. Solid Waste and Recycling. Both the City Police and Fire chiefs are now driving city owned alternative fuel vehicles. The drought is causing the city to push water conservation and discuss possible penalties.
On the other hand, drivers of other vehicles waste considerable time making special trips to refuel their internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles at the liquid fuel station or their battery electric vehicle (BEV) at the rapid recharging station. Frank (2016) Using the Fleet of Long Range Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles.
And something I should clarify is that Tesla will be operating the fleet, so you can think of like how Tesla, I don’t know, some combination of Airbnb and Uber, meaning that, you know, there’ll be some number of cars that Tesla owns itself and operates in the fleet. That seems like it would be a waste not to use it.
I think that it could work well for fleet applications like taxi companies and car rental firms, and it would also work well in low volume situations like we will see over the next few years where there are a relatively small number of electric vehicles on the roads. I have never been a big fan of battery swapping.
Cleaning Up Millions of Liters of Radioactive Waste At the Hanford Site in eastern Washington, radioactive nuclear waste from the development of the first atomic bombs is currently leaking into soil and polluting the surrounding environment. Baidu has already operated more than 7 million rides.
To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. All we really need in addition to fleets of new paradigm vehicles are additional solar and wind generation sources. It is wasteful and destructive to be burning this versatile molecule; we must stop. For an extended discussion see Appendix C). But use of petroleum will continue.
The first buyers will be fleet users, which will build central fast-charging facilities. Both will be sold first in China, primarily to fleet users: the government, post office, utilities, and taxi companies, all of which will build central fast-charging facilities. The E6 will hit the Chinese market later this year.
