Separate names with a comma.
It is supposed to go back into the head space of the storage tank as the liquid gasoline is being pumped out. See Figure 5.2-7 of this EPA...
For what it's worth, Motor Trend used a Mercedes-Benz E320 BlueTec as its example of diesel technology in a 2007 comparison of "Alternative-Fuel...
Not sure I completely understand your points, but the fuel consumption quoted in the article for the 320d EDE (4.1 l/100 km) is the combined...
That's no longer the case, as far as that goes at least. CARB, who has historically loathed diesel engines, conducted a study of a European...
Haven't actually calculated the Prius against the Passat yet, but the 2011 Jetta TDI stacks up this way (using graphic because data is cumbersome...
To address the OP point, here are some emissions calculations based on Argonne National Laboratory's GREET model (Argonne GREET Model)... GREET...
I should hasten to add that the Gen III Prius would have well-to-wheels emissions even lower than the Jettas, due mostly to the low fuel...
Those are my own calculations based on the GREET model which is available for download at Argonne GREET Model . I explain the methodology and...
If you include indirect ("upstream") emissions (per Argonne National Laboratory's GREET model), i.e., "well-to-wheels" emissions, the Jetta TDI...
It is to a certain degree, but the removal process for NOx is oxidization of NO2 to nitrate (NO3). Most NO3 reacts with ammonia in the atmosphere...
It should be noted that EPA acknowledged the "NOx disbenefit" and expected increases in ambient ozone levels in urban areas based on...
Actually, this is something that has been known for quite a while (since at least the early 1990s), when it was demonstrated that ozone ("smog")...
Do you recall what study that was? I know that CARB (yup - that diesel-loathing air quality agency in California) conducted a study of CNG and...
Does anyone have ANY actual data that shows that the current crop of diesel vehicles (cars or trucks) still emit significant quantities of soot,...
Perhaps. It also may be that it's been emissions certified, but hasn't gone into production yet. Appears it's a 2012 model according to this...
Appears that a Kia Rio diesel has superseded the Smart diesel as lowest fuel consumption car available in Europe...
According to Argonne National Laboratory's GREET model (I assume ANL would be as unbiased as anyone could get), the overall efficiency of a Leaf...
Actually, the Mercedes-Benz E350 BlueTec comes VERY close to hitting SULEV...
@ austingreen - just providing another resource to this discussion. I'm not trying to vouch for its validity, although many studies which I've...
It should also be noted that according to a 2008 report by the the National Academies (National Academies, "Hidden Cost of Energy: Unpriced...
