Sentences with phrase «fuel consumption and emissions do»

Numerous technological innovations and a remarkably high degree of internal efficiency ensure that fuel consumption and emissions do not rise.

Not exact matches

Happily, this doesn't affect the fuel consumption or CO2 emissions (23.9 mpg combined and 276g / km), but the top speed remains limited to 155mph.

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.

«Also, it encourages drivers to change up a gear early and enables an automatic gearbox to do the same, both of which reduce emissions and fuel consumption.»

With a fuel consumption of 8.4 litres per 100 km and CO2 emissions of 199 grams per kilometre (NEDC combined), the naturally - aspirated AMG V8 engine comes in at or below the level of its competitors, however these are unable to match either the output or torque of the SLK 55 AMG — and above all, they do not use large - displacement eight - cylinder engines.

Don't look for extra power from the M6, but it will surely have improved fuel consumption and emissions.

The Evoque breaks new ground by being the first Range Rover to offer the option of front - wheel - drive for customers who do not require the brand's legendary all - terrain capability, but who wish to minimise their carbon footprint through further reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

But this does not mean an increase in fuel consumption and emissions.

Sure, on paper they don't match the Jazz, but the JCW's fuel consumption of 6.9 l / 100 km and CO2 emissions at 165g / km are not far behind.

This explains why the more dynamic performance and driving enjoyment does not come at the expense of higher fuel consumption and emissions.

The BMW 4 Series Coupe may be set up to specialise in dynamic excellence, but other technological features, such as the Auto Start Stop function, Brake Energy Regeneration, Optimum Shift Indicator and on - demand operation of ancillary units, do their bit to ensure it impresses with low fuel consumption and emissions, too.

Other features such as the Auto Start Stop function, Brake Energy Regeneration, the gear shift indicator, on - demand operation of ancillary units and the innovative Proactive Driving Assistant all do their part to ensure low fuel consumption and reduced emissions, without compromising driving performance.

The biomethane that fuels the Bio-Bus is generated from sewage and food waste (waste which is unfit for human consumption), and because the bus» engine produces lower emissions while burning biomethane than conventional diesel does, it could not only help improve air quality, but also help to prove the case for more waste - to - fuel projects.

There are alternatives I don't think I convinced either of my two audiences that fossil fuels are going to disappear overnight, but once I drew their attention to recent declines in Chinese coal production and a stall in global carbon emissions they did appear to concede that basing future investment decisions simply on past patterns of consumption might not be the wisest of strategies.

Only if we spur those cost and performance breakthroughs do we have a chance of drastically cutting emissions (and eliminating fossil fuel consumption) IN ADDITION to incremental cost and performance improvements.

One way of doing that would be for the difference in the up front price of PHEVs to be covered by federal and state tax credits and by rebates designed to reward consumers for reducing consumption of petroleum based fuels and emissions.

One of the key benefits associated with energy efficiency and renewable energy programs (clean energy) is that they reduce consumption of fossil fuel resources, and in doing so reduce fossil fuel - related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

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.

A few studies have been done showing that the effect of wind integration on both fuel consumption and emission reductions can in fact be negative.

However, recently published scientific papers contravene this approach and indicate that (a) we just don't have substantial observational evidence yet to attribute cause to a the rise in methane, (b) methane emissions may not have increased recently after all, and (c) human activity (fossil fuel consumption) has not been the «dominant factor» driving the (assumed) increase in methane.

When a plant's efficiency is reduced, its fuel consumption and emissions increase, causing unintended consequences that wind proponents do not disclose.

In doing so, renewables reduce the consumption of fossil fuel and production of fossil fuel - related carbon dioxide emissions.

They show that increasing world fuel consumption (i.e., increasing CO2 emission) does not correlate with cool and warm phases of the 60 year global climate cycle.

China said it would increase the share of non-fossil fuels (wind and solar) as part of its primary energy consumption to about 20 % by 2030, and peak emissions by around the same point, though it would «work hard» to do so earlier.

Here's one more reason why the final US climate bill really ought to be significantly strengthened: Climate Progress has done a bit of number - crunching of the EIA's Short Term Energy Outlook and finds that as it stands now, by the end of 2009 the US will already be halfway towards the emission reductions stipulated in ACES: The EIA projections say that by the end of 2009, United States» emissions will fall 6 %, due to «weak economic conditions and declines in the consumption of most fossil fuels.»

So the first thing we wanted to do was to stop emissions and energy consumption growth, especially fossil fuel energy consumption growth.

The climate equation has two sides, and while great attention has been paid to the demand side: «how do we reduce fossil fuel consumption and emissions?»
