TECO 2030 ( earlier post ) is aiming to establish Norway’s first large-scale production of fuel cells, optimized to be the heart of hydrogen-powered ships and other heavy-duty installations. This will be the first volume production of fuel cells in Norway and a hub for the Norwegian hydrogen industry. gigawatt, per year.
Fiat’s 875cc TwinAir engine ( earlier post ) was named the International Engine of the Year 2011. liter 16v engine, but fuel consumption is 30% lower. TwinAir weighs 85kg; emits 95g/km of CO 2 and delivers fuel consumption of around 4.34 Click to enlarge. Compared with a 1.2-liter litres/100km (54 mpg US) in the Fiat 500.
Austria-based OMV, an international, integrated oil, gas and chemicals company, announced its intention to become a net-zero (Scope 1, 2 and 3) company by no later than 2050. The Refining & Marketing business is to become a leading European provider of sustainable fuels, feedstock, and mobility solutions. Refining & Marketing.
million from the Department of Energy’s ARPA-E program ( earlier post ) to complete its prototype development of a new gasoline-fueled wave disc engine and electricity generator that promises to be five times more efficient than traditional auto engines in electricity production, 20% lighter, and 30% cheaper to manufacture. Norbert Müller.
With the launch of this newest fuel-efficient engine, Ford now has capacity to build 1.6 liter EcoBoost—the fifth member of the EcoBoost family—will commence initially at Ford’s facility in Craiova, Romania, later this month. liter EcoBoost, while delivering improved fuel economy and lower CO 2 emissions.
The majority of brake boosters have until recently used the vacuum generated by the internal combustion engine’s intake section. Fuel efficiency and fully-independent vacuum generation were objectives for the development of the UP5.0. This equates to fuel savings of 0.2 —for vehicle brake systems. miles per gallon.
There, d elegations from Azerbaijan, Georgia, Hungary, and Romania finalized an ambitious plan: to generate up to 6 gigawatts of clean energy in the Caucasus region, run the electricity through a cable along the bottom of the Black Sea, and deliver it to Europe. Azerbaijan built its economy on its abundant fossil fuels.
501,000 auto supplier jobs in Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) powertrain components production are expected to become obsolete if technology is phased-out by 2035 (84% of current ICE jobs). By contrast, Central Eastern European countries will shape the run-down of ICE vehicle production. Methodology.
Emissions of GHG have increased by 26% (EU-15) or 180 million tonnes between 1990 and 2006, excluding international aviation and marine transport—an amount larger than the entire annual national emissions for 2006 from Belgium (132 million tonnes) or Romania (157 million tonnes). Transport at a crossroads.
The European Commission is taking the UK to court—along with Germany, France, Italy, Romania, and Hungary—over its long-standing failure to meet EU limits for nitrogen dioxide (NO?). Cleaner fuels and stoves produce less smoke, less soot and more heat. In future only the cleanest domestic fuels will be available for sale.
This collaboration is in line with the implementation of the DAFI Directive (Directive 2014/94 - Deployment of Alternative Fuels Infrastructures), with a particular focus on certain countries and regions, starting from Wallonia, Belgium. FCA is pursuing the development of alternative fuel motors as a key pillar in its strategy.
Transport, including international aviation and maritime transport, accounts for around a quarter of total EU greenhouse gas emissions. In the future we will need to focus not only on the mode of transport, but also the reasons why people choose to travel, because ultimately mobility is inextricably linked to our quality of life.
It stated that the traditional core areas such as car body design, fuel economy etc., Additionally, the report also discusses the massive changes in the traditional siloed innovation structures with its clear demarcations for internal and external collaborations.
The international locations mentioned the more difficult limits for pollution together with nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide may divert a very powerful investments wanted to succeed in the EU’s objective of successfully banning unutilized combustion engine automobiles nearest 2035.
The new EU law will require that all carmakers achieve a 100 percent cut in CO2 emissions by 2035 for all new cars sold, eliminating the possibility that gas or petrol-fueled engines can be sold in any of the 27 countries in the EU.
Of the five-digit sales markets, notable performances were recorded in Hungary (up 19.4%), Romania (up 17.3%) and Portugal (up 13.3%). Hungary and Romania saw volumes rise 16.4%, followed by Portugal (up 14.9%), Austria (up 11.1%), Ireland (up 6.5%), Poland (up 4.9%) and Denmark (up 2.7%). Volumes surged 87.4% with 41,581 deliveries.
Meanwhile, the Czech Republic (up 8.5%), Romania (up 7.9%), Austria (up 7.6%) and Denmark (up 2.5%) also increased volumes. This was almost 5pp ahead of the internal-combustion engine ( ICE ) market. was recorded in Romania. Looking at July’s other five-digit markets, Poland posted an improvement of 18.6%. share in July.
Elsewhere, Poland (up 14.8%), Romania (up 8%), Portugal (up 2.5%), the Czech Republic (up 2.3%) and Denmark (up 1.5%) saw growth. However, Romania improved diesel deliveries by 29.4%, as Poland and Ireland were both up 1.8%. Puzzling Petrol Petrol did not fare much better than its internal combustion engine (ICE) counterpart in August.
Have plug-ins and internal-combustion engine ( ICE ) models reached a point of price parity? The same is true in Eastern Europe, with Poland, Romania and Hungary also seeing lower shares. The fuel type was followed by the BEV option, then petrol, with the PHEV in last place. Is Europes transition to EVs really in trouble?
Diesel, used by most HGVs, causes more air pollution per kilometer than other fuels such as petrol. Exhaust emissions from diesel engines were recently labelled as carcinogenic by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Costs are also high in Luxemburg, Germany, Romania, Italy and Austria, at around €0.08/km
Excess death rates were particularly high in eastern European countries, such as Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania and Ukraine, with more than 200 each year per 100,000 of the population. When they looked at individual countries, the researchers found that air pollution caused an excess death rate of 154 per 100,000 in Germany (a reduction of 2.4
18/585,308) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), developed in collaboration with the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca in Romania. This patent outlines a unique "two times three strokes" engine design that could potentially revolutionize internal combustion technology. Image: USPTO Appl.
Today BYD employs 130,000 people in 11 factories, eight in China and one each in India, Hungary, and Romania. They generate fewer greenhouse gas emissions than cars that burn gasoline, and they have lower fuel costs, even when oil is cheap. near Motorola, and another 20 or so work in San Francisco, not far from Apple.
Conversely, deliveries dropped in Greece (down 16.4%), Belgium (down 13%), Portugal (down 7.8%), Romania (down 6.4%), Czechia (down 5%), the Netherlands (down 4.6%). Deliveries of the fuel type dropped 27% last month, with 82,942 units. The fuel type made up 29.4% The fuel type represented 34.9% in January 2024.
of the countrys car market, it lagged behind California and almost all of Europe even the slower-adopting countries, like Romania. Norway is one example, where the country was already far ahead of the international community, and set a target to end gas car sales by 2025. With EVs only consisting of 5.4% global average that year.
