This book was released on 2013-04-14 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a century, almost all light-duty vehicles (LDVs) have been powered by internal combustion engines operating on petroleum fuels. Energy security concerns about petroleum imports and the effect of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on global climate are driving interest in alternatives. Transitions to Alternative Vehicles and Fuels assesses the potential for reducing petroleum consumption and GHG emissions by 80 percent across the U.S. LDV fleet by 2050, relative to 2005. This report examines the current capability and estimated future performance and costs for each vehicle type and non-petroleum-based fuel technology as options that could significantly contribute to these goals. By analyzing scenarios that combine various fuel and vehicle pathways, the report also identifies barriers to implementation of these technologies and suggests policies to achieve the desired reductions. Several scenarios are promising, but strong, and effective policies such as research and development, subsidies, energy taxes, or regulations will be necessary to overcome barriers, such as cost and consumer choice.

Download or read book Alternative Fuels for Vehicles Fleet Demonstration Program Final Report. Volume 1 written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Alternative Fuels for Vehicles Fleet Demonstration Program (AFV-FDP) was a multiyear effort to collect technical data for use in determining the costs and benefits of alternative-fuel vehicles in typical applications in New York State. During 3 years of collecting data, 7.3 million miles of driving were accumulated, 1,003 chassis-dynamometer emissions tests were performed, 862,000 gallons of conventional fuel were saved, and unique information was developed about garage safety recommendations, vehicle performance, and other topics. Findings are organized by vehicle and fuel type. For light-duty compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles, technology has evolved rapidly and closed-loop, electronically-controlled fuel systems provide performance and emissions advantages over open-loop, mechanical systems. The best CNG technology produces consistently low tailpipe emissions versus gasoline, and can eliminate evaporative emissions. Reduced driving range remains the largest physical drawback. Fuel cost is low ($/Btu) but capital costs are high, indicating that economics are best with vehicles that are used intensively. Propane produces impacts similar to CNG and is less expensive to implement, but fuel cost is higher than gasoline and safety codes limit use in urban areas. Light-duty methanol/ethanol vehicles provide performance and emissions benefits over gasoline with little impact on capital costs, but fuel costs are high. Heavy-duty CNG engines are evolving rapidly and provide large reductions in emissions versus diesel. Capital costs are high for CNG buses and fuel efficiency is reduced, but the fuel is less expensive and overall operating costs are about equal to those of diesel buses. Methanol buses provide performance and emissions benefits versus diesel, but fuel costs are high. Other emerging technologies were also evaluated, including electric vehicles, hybrid-electric vehicles, and fuel cells.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people in this world are not aware of the fact that the use of alternate fuels will be the best answer to the needs of those drivers who want to maintain the good performance of their vehicles while prioritizing their safety and the protection of their passengers. People can always expect good things and excellent benefits from the different kinds of alternate fuels that are available in the international market nowadays. And these fuels can really help the drivers or car enthusiasts to lessen their fuel expenses in their long distance travels.One of the best things that the drivers and other consumers can expect from the alternative fuels in the market nowadays is the fact that it can help them to maintain the good performance and excellent fuel efficiency of their vehicles for several years. These substances are more reliable compared to the conventional fuels that the drivers and car enthusiasts have consumed in the car industry for several decades.Alternative fuels can help the drivers and other individuals in this world to fight the negative effects of air pollution more effectively. These fuels are made of excellent substances that are not capable of producing harmful gases that can destroy the atmosphere of Earth. These fuels will be the best answer to the negative effects of climate change and greenhouse effects that were actually caused by air pollution and global warming. Since there are more options to choose from in these fuels, the car enthusiasts will be able to choose the type of fuel that will really fit to their target fuel consumption and contributions to the environment-conservation goals of the authorities.These environment-friendly fuels will never fail the expectations of those car enthusiasts and drivers who want to help in the process of improving the economy of their countries in a very excellent way. These fuels include several substances that are more affordable and much easier to collect compared to the conventional fuels that are available in this world at the present time. If these alternative fuels will be used by the authorities as additional options for their petroleum companies, the economy of their countries will be able to improve faster from time to time.Alternative fuels can really help the drivers and car enthusiasts to become more aware about the importance of preserving the good nature and environment in their countries. These fuels also help people to understand the fact that there’s no need to export more petroleum or conventional fuels from the other countries just to achieve the daily fuel requirement for the vehicles in a certain nation. It is good to consider these fuels as the best answer to the needs of those nations who want to achieve a more improved economy in a very excellent and dependable way. These are the important facts that the drivers and other consumers must always remember about the importance of alternative fuels.

Download or read book Technologies and Approaches to Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technologies and Approaches to Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles evaluates various technologies and methods that could improve the fuel economy of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, such as tractor-trailers, transit buses, and work trucks. The book also recommends approaches that federal agencies could use to regulate these vehicles' fuel consumption. Currently there are no fuel consumption standards for such vehicles, which account for about 26 percent of the transportation fuel used in the U.S. The miles-per-gallon measure used to regulate the fuel economy of passenger cars. is not appropriate for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, which are designed above all to carry loads efficiently. Instead, any regulation of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles should use a metric that reflects the efficiency with which a vehicle moves goods or passengers, such as gallons per ton-mile, a unit that reflects the amount of fuel a vehicle would use to carry a ton of goods one mile. This is called load-specific fuel consumption (LSFC). The book estimates the improvements that various technologies could achieve over the next decade in seven vehicle types. For example, using advanced diesel engines in tractor-trailers could lower their fuel consumption by up to 20 percent by 2020, and improved aerodynamics could yield an 11 percent reduction. Hybrid powertrains could lower the fuel consumption of vehicles that stop frequently, such as garbage trucks and transit buses, by as much 35 percent in the same time frame.
