The current fuel consumption and emissions test that car makers self - certify against — the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle)-- was designed in the 1980s and does not reflect fuel economy figures and emissions in real - world use.

Coal - to - liquid
fuels with carbon capture
and storage could replace about 15 — 20 % of
current fuel consumption in the transportation sector (2 — 3 million barrels per day; the lower estimate holds if coal is also used to produce coal -
and - biomass - to - liquid
fuels)
and would have lifecycle CO2
emissions similar to petroleum - based
fuels.
Owners
and operators of a fleet of vehicles use these services to monitor driver performance for unauthorized or unsafe vehicle usage, as well as analyze data such as the
current location of a vehicle,
fuel consumption, mileage,
emissions status
and diagnostic trouble codes.
This in turn boosts performance
and reduces
fuel consumption whilst ensuring that
current emission limits are respected.
Compared to the
current 2.0 CDTI engine with similar power, the new 1.6 CDTI offers a 10 % reduction in
fuel consumption and CO2
emissions.
2016 Porsche 911 upgrades (
current car in brackets): 911 Carrera seven - speed manual / PDK: Combined
fuel consumption 8.3 - 7.4 L / 100 km (9.0 - 8.2) CO2
emissions 190 - 169g / km (211 - 191) 0 - 100 (with PDK
and Sport Chrono): 4.2 secs (4.4) Top speed: 295km / h (289km / h)
In contrast to the systems commonly used to date, this lift activates the nozzle needle directly, so that the
fuel injection can be adjusted more precisely in line with the
current load
and engine - speed situation — for example by means of precise multiple injections, which have a favourable effect on
emissions,
fuel consumption and combustion noise.
One of the new features is the
fuel consumption and gearshift indicator (if the six - speed transmission is specified), which informs the driver of the
current fuel consumption and at what point the next - highest gear should be selected in order to save
fuel and reduce CO2
emissions (also see page 89).
As part of the sales launch of the retrofit range in late summer 2017, the product lineup will initially be available in Germany
and other markets for the
current Audi R8
and Audi TT models (TT, TTS [combined
fuel consumption in l / 100 km: 7.5 — 6.7 *; combined CO2
emissions in g / km: 173 — 155]
and TT RS [combined
fuel consumption in l / 100 km: 8.5 — 8.2 *; combined CO2
emissions in g / km: 194 — 187 *]-RRB- only.
The update for the
current model generation, which also benefits the MINI Hardtop 4 door (combined
fuel consumption: 6.2 — 4.8 l / 100 km; combined CO2
emissions: 141 — 110 g / km; EU test cycle figures, dependent on tyre format selected), ranges from specific design modifications
and innovative customisation options through to an extension of the equipment program
and the addition of the latest MINI Connected digital services.
Further evaluation of our
current wind units
and their effects on
fuel consumption and emissions should be done before increasing the penetration of renewable energy to the 20
and 30 percent levels currently mandated by some state renewable portfolio standards,
and before a national renewable portfolio standard is considered for enactment.
