Not exact matches

Since carbon dioxide (CO2) is the natural by - product of the combustion of fuel, the increased standards would also address climate change by reducing tailpipe emissions of CO2.

Mazda isn't hedging its bets on electric power just yet, believing that until the worldwide electrical grid is predominantly powered by renewable energy, an electric vehicle's tailpipe emissions are too far offset by the dirtiness and high CO2 values of the fossil - fuelled coal, oil, and gas power plants that supply their electricity.

As the need to reduce emissions increased, more manufacturers sought to design their own hybrid systems and significant gains have been found in cutting harmful tailpipe gases like CO2 and NOx.

This ensures all performance parameters remain balanced and consistent * Offers a reduction in CO2 emissions of up to 70 % (well - to - wheel), a measure of a fuel's net contribution to the atmosphere, not just tailpipe emissions

Well - to - wheel is a measurement of a fuel's net CO2 contribution to the atmosphere, not just tailpipe emissions.

Pioneered in the Supersports coupe, this FlexFuel technology offers a reduction of up to 70 per cent in CO2 emissions on a well - to - wheel basis, a measure of a fuel's net contribution to the atmosphere, not just tailpipe emissions.

«But legally defining it [CO2] as a pollutant allows the EPA to e.g. use existing laws to regulate tailpipe emissions.»

If Congress were to not only eliminate EPA's regulatory authority, but take CO2 completely out of the Clean Air Act, it would still be up to the courts to decide whether or not that would eliminate state authority over vehicle tailpipe emissions.

2011 (August) National Program Standards Phase I (Heavy Duty) Sets Medium and Heavy Duty Vehicles fuel efficiency and tailpipe emissions standards estimated to reduce CO2 emissions by about 270 million metric tons and save about 530 million barrels of oil over the life of the vehicles built in model years 2014 - 2018.

According to the Tailpipe Rule, CO2 emissions due to air conditioner - related loads on automobile engines account for 3.9 % of total passenger car greenhouse gas emissions, and various technologies could reduce air conditioner - related CO2 emissions by 10 % to 30 %.51 A 30 % reduction of the 3.9 % of motor vehicle emissions associated with air conditioner engine load would decrease fuel consumption by only 1.1 %.

These produce more than a third of global CO2 emissions but it is impractical to capture the gas at source from tailpipes or flues.

As EPA's Tailpipe Rule acknowledges (p. 25327), there is a «single pool of technologies... that reduce fuel consumption and thereby reduce CO2 emissions as well.»

Also, I had read somewhere in this set of websites or their relatives (don't remember where now), that 22 mpg was average, and the «greenhouse gas calculator» implies the average car's tailpipe emission is 400 g CO2 / mi (see below / later).

Volkswagen introduced a turbo - diesel hybrid - electric Golf concept car at the Geneva Motor Show, and the specs were impressive: 70 miles per gallon (3.3 liters per 100 kilometers), a 7 - speed direct shift gearbox (DSG) with a twin - clutch, minor modifications to reduce aerodynamic drag, CO2 emissions of 89 g / km (lower than a Toyota Prius hybrid), and Tier 2 Bin 5 tailpipe emissions.

When compared with the standard hybrid, the plug - in hybrid at 68 miles per gallon (MPG), achieved a 58 - percent increase in gas mileage, a 37 - percent decrease in carbon dioxide (CO2) tailpipe emissions, and a 10 - percent reduction in fuel costs.
