You're optimizing your vehicle for sustainability. How can you meet strict emission standards?

To meet emission standards and boost sustainability: 1. Improve engine efficiency. 2. Use hybrid or electric power. 3. Lighten the vehicle. 4. Enhance aerodynamics. 5. Use emission controls. 6. Explore alternative fuels. 7. Optimize driving tech. 8. Maintain the vehicle regularly.

Provide better traction control to reduce slippage and tyre wearing. This can be done via using better tyre rubber, designing better tyre sizing between the front and rear tyres, based on weight distribution of the vehicle to maximise traction control.

Another thing which should be considered is the quality of the fuel used.if you manage to optimize the vehicle but the fuel quality is not optimal you will still have serious emission problems

On peut utiliser des moteurs à combustion améliorée, des systèmes de post-traitement (comme les filtres à particules et catalyseurs), alléger le véhicule avec des matériaux légers, et améliorer l'aérodynamisme. Intégrer des technologies hybrides ou électriques (véhicules BEV, HEV, MHEV ou PHEV) réduit aussi les émissions tout en maintenant l'efficacité énergétique.

Alternate fuels play a very critical role under Sustainability Development goal under Climate action. Energy transition is the only option avaliable. The dependency on conventional fuels and the market uncertainty due to geopolitical conflicts makes it necessary to shift to low carbon alternatives.Energy mix- electric, hydrogen and hydrogen based fuels etc are the options avaliable due to decarbonization. To keep the 1.5 degree commitments, the global energy shift towards efficient and alternate fuels is way out. Continued reduction in energy intensity sets off can be achieved only with shift to electrification and renewable sources. Both traditional and flexible alternate storage mechanisms can support the desired sustainable goals.

Die starke Zunahme von alternativen Antrieben, insbesondere der Elektromobilit?t, ist nur zum Teil darauf zurückzuführen, dass keine lokalen Schadstoffemissionen emittiert werden. Vielmehr sind es die C02-Richtlinien, die dazu führen, dass alle Branchen und insbesondere auch die Automobilhersteller das Thema Dekarbonisierung vorantreiben. Insbesondere BEV-Fahrzeuge bieten die besten Skalierungsm?glichkeiten und weitreichende Potenziale nicht nur für Pkw-Anwendungen, sondern vor allem auch für Nutzfahrzeuge. Denn mit der gleichen Menge regenerativer Energie k?nnen 6 BEVs, anstatt 2 FCEVs oder 1 Fahrzeug mit synthetischen Kraftstoffen betrieben werden. Daher sollten BEVs dort pr?feriert werden, wo Sie heute schon praktikabel einsetzbar sind.

Die Energie zum Abtrieb von Fahrzeugen muss alternativ und nachhaltig (!), also ohne weiterhin fossile Energiequellen zu nutzen oder unseren Kindern Atommüll zu hinterlassen, gewonnen werden. PV, Wind- und Wasserkraft sind die Mittel der Wahl. Das Produkt ist Elektrischer Strom. Dieser extrem hochwertige Energietr?ger muss so direkt wie m?glich ohne viele Umwandlungen im Fahrzeug verbraucht werden. So einfach ist das. Für mich ist es ziemlich alternativlos, was nicht hei?t, dass ich nicht für #Technologieoffenheit bin, aber diese Energienutzungskette hat praktisch keine Konkurrenz. Ja, wir brauchen dringend grünen #Wasserstoff, aber bis der im Auto ankommt f?hrt der letzte Skeptiker bereits ein BEV und wünscht sich nichts anderes mehr.

Embora os carros elétricos sejam uma revolu??o na industria automotiva, na ótica da sustentabilidade existem muitas críticas relacionadas a produ??o energética. Em países onde predomina o uso de carros elétricos, a fabrica??o de energia em grande parte provém de fontes nada amigáveis ao meio ambiente. Isso muda a percep??o do uso de carros elétricos, mas temos muitos recursos paralelos que podem contribuir para reduzir as emiss?es de carbono, o etanol por exemplo é um biocombustível que pode ser utilizado em motores a combust?o (específicos) e que com o uso de um sistema de tratamento dos gases eficiente pode contribuir expressivamente para redu??o de impactos no meio ambiente.

Where many companies are switching towards synthetic fuels, opting for a multi fuel engine sounded impossible to design and manufacture once but through basic Engineering principles and advanced manufacturing techniques it is no longer out of reach.

A aerodinamica tem seu peso na eficiência de combustível, o design pode reduzir o arrasto do ar, consequentemente a resistência do ar, permitindo que o veículo se desloque com menos atrito, permitindo que o veículo possa percorrer mais quil?metros consumindo menos energia, seja ela elétrica ou híbrida.

Die Aerodynamik ist einer der Schlüsselfaktoren für den effizienten Betrieb von Kraftfahrzeugen, da der Luftwiderstand von der Form und der Stirnfl?che des Fahrzeugs abh?ngt und sogar quadratisch mit der Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit zunimmt. FL = cw *A * 1/2 ρ * v2. Damit ist die Aerodynamik insbesondere bei h?heren Geschwindigkeiten der dominierende Fahrzeugwiderstand und spielt für alle Fahrzeuge eine entscheidende Rolle für verbrauchsarmes Fahren, diese Relation ist unabh?ngig von der Antriebstechnologie. Aufgrund der im Verh?ltnis geringeren Energiedichte konventioneller Kraftstoffe im Vergleich zu Batterien ist es jedoch unerl?sslich, den Gesamtverbrauch von BEV-Fahrzeugen zu senken und damit die Reichweite zu erh?hen.

Aerodynamics significantly impacts a vehicle's fuel efficiency by reducing air resistance. A low drag coefficient means the vehicle requires less energy to move, leading to better fuel economy and lower emissions. Features like active grille shutters, underbody panels, and rear spoilers enhance aerodynamics. Additionally, reducing the vehicle's weight can further improve its efficiency by minimizing the energy needed to overcome air resistance.

Ein aerodynamisch optimiertes Fahrzeug ben?tigt weniger Energie, um sich zu bewegen, was den Kraftstoffverbrauch und damit die Emissionen reduziert. Verbesserungen im Design k?nnen den Luftwiderstand senken und so die Effizienz steigern. Durch die Implementierung dieser aerodynamischen Merkmale in das Fahrzeugdesign kann man nicht nur die Emissionen reduzieren, sondern auch die allgemeine Fahrdynamik und den Komfort verbessern.

Quizá más importante que las políticas de vehículos eléctricos, resulta fundamental crear e implementar regulaciones adecuadas sobre vehículos convencionales: resulta habitual no encontrar controles o que sean mediocres. Las mediciones estáticas son prácticamente inservibles para estimar emisiones contaminantes en cuanto a que distintos contaminantes (como NOx) no presentan emisiones bajo condiciones casi nulas de carga (como las que se encuentran en pruebas estáticas). Adicionalmente, antes que una política de vehículos eléctricos, la transición debe garantizar una política normativa sobre regulaciones aplicables, por ejemplo, normativa Euro en vehículos Diésel, los cuales son los principales emisores de MP.

From carrying out repairs on vehicle systems, I have observed how essential it is to apply working emissions control sensors to the exhaust systems of your car. A poorly functioning oxygen sensor or air/fuel ratio sensor may not detect a fault in the catalytic converter port. The more reason why OBD systems are developed, such that when theres a fault on such sensors, it is flagged by the engine management system or ECU. When these are in good working conditions it can help minimize toxic emissions ejected to the environment.

A tecnologia atual existente para controle do óxido de nitrogênio (NOx) emitidos pelos motores a combust?o tornou esses motores amigáveis para o meio ambiente. Hoje temos tecnologia que emitem menos de 0,04 gramas por hora de funcionamento. O grande problema é que a frota mundial ainda é antiga e desprovida dessa tecnologia. é preciso um apoio ou incentivo das autoridades para atualiza??o ou compra desses veículos e também para fomentar o desenvolvimento de tecnologias que atentam o consumidor e que reduzam ainda mais as emiss?es desses poluentes, n?o somente na utiliza??o do produto (veículos) mas também na fabrica??o desses combustíveis.

1. Advanced Combustion Engines: Innovations such as turbocharging, direct fuel injection, and variable valve timing can improve the efficiency of ICEs, reducing fuel consumption and emissions. 2. Aftertreatment Systems: Technologies like selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and diesel particulate filters (DPF) can reduce harmful emissions from ICE vehicles.

Emission control in the product homologation process has followed the progress of energy control policies. However, despite the advancements, there are still obstacles to overcome. When vehicles enter the used car market, the monitoring of emissions generated throughout the vehicle's lifespan is lost. Inadequate maintenance significantly increases pollution levels, undermining all the development and effort invested in the vehicle's design. Although public policies have attempted to regulate these emissions, in Brazil, these initiatives were disorganized and unsuccessful, leading to the premature termination of the projects.

Recent advancements in vehicle technology focus on improving sustainability and efficiency. Mild hybrid systems now combine start-stop technology with small electric motors to assist the engine, further reducing fuel consumption. Enhanced regenerative braking systems are being developed to capture even more energy, increasing battery efficiency in electric and hybrid vehicles. Additionally, predictive energy management systems use data like GPS and driving patterns to optimize energy usage, enhancing overall vehicle efficiency and reducing emissions.

A constante inova??o tecnológica permite a melhoria na eficiência do consumo de recursos tanto na fabrica??o, quanto no uso de veículos. é importante levar em considera??o que muitas tecnologias apenas s?o desenvolvidas quando se tem a necessidade de atender alguma exigência. órg?o competentes devem desafiar os fabricantes a atenderem normas que contribuam com a sustentabilidade. é importante lembrar também que n?o apenas os produtos (veículos) desempenham papel na sustentabilidade, o desenvolvimento de tecnologias para fabrica??o mais sustentável também contribui para diminuir os índices de emiss?es de poluentes, a exemplo o consumo de água na fabrica??o de um veículo, que pode chegar até 400 mil litros para fabricar um único automóvel.

Der Einsatz von Hybrid- und Elektrofahrzeugen, Start-Stopp-Systemen oder verbesserter Batterietechnologie kann den Aussto? von Schadstoffen erheblich senken. Diese Technologien reduzieren entweder direkt die Emissionen oder sorgen dafür, dass weniger Energie verbraucht wird. Der Einsatz fortschrittlicher Technologien wie Start-Stopp-Systeme und regeneratives Bremsen stellt einen bedeutenden Fortschritt in Richtung nachhaltigerer Fahrzeuge dar. In Kombination mit anderen Technologien wie Hybrid- und Elektroantrieben sowie einer leichten Bauweise k?nnen sie die Einhaltung strenger Emissionsnormen unterstützen und die Umweltauswirkungen von Fahrzeugen erheblich mindern.

During my experience at a vehicle manufacturer, I had the opportunity to handle cases of customer dissatisfaction regarding the excessive fuel consumption of their vehicles. In most cases, this excessive consumption was caused by the customers' driving habits, such as sudden accelerations, lack of engine braking, and improper use of the brake pedal. However, there were also cases where inadequate maintenance resulted in excessive fuel consumption. Smooth driving, without sudden increases in acceleration, makes the vehicle more fuel-efficient.

As mentioned above, anticipation while driving makes a big difference. All the sudden accelerations and hard breaking doesn't make you get earlier to your destination, and furthermore, it penalises consumption and pollution.

At the end this is key. Almost every time OEMs will create a product that comply with the standards for emissions, but remember that testing is done in certain conditions and cycles so the driver behavior won’t necessarily match them. The common driving behaviors recommendations are be applicable, I will add planning your route. It is important to keep your car running with proper maintenance, the engine, motors and so will run “forever” but not necessarily with the design intent performance, take care of the parts so the vehicle take care of you.

the EGR system that we have now works only in the before DPF,if we bring the EGR system from the DPF, there are many posible reduce to reduce the emission
