The large majority of todays cars and trucks travel by using internal combustion engines that burn fossil fuels and gasoline. A variety of emissions are polluted into the atmosphere when burning gasoline to power cars and trucks. Emissions that are released directly from cars and trucks into the atmosphere are the primary cause of car pollution but it still causes pollution the air during the manufacturing and refueling processes. Primary pollution from motor vehicles is pollution that is emitted
Should our government regulate the fuel economies of our automobiles or should this be left up to the market? The Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency (CAFE) standards that were implemented in the 1970s contributed to great improvements in vehicle fuel economies. While we have environmental and political reasons to want cars with better fuel efficiency, there are also costs involved. The declining fuel economies of the last fifteen years seem to reveal that many Americans are not willing to
and small passenger cars in Europe right now.[1] Many believe that diesel engine are heavier, noisier and generate black smock when running. However, diesel engine’s unique advantages can make them the engine of the future for vehicles. And with much more stringent standard to take effect in the future, diesel engine’s emissions and control technologies are still very much in the forefront. This paper will cover the developments in diesel vehicles emission regulation and control technology for NOx
Introduction: Emissions and existence of abundant carbon particulates in the atmosphere, turns the planet into a green house and traps the temperature. Factories, electronic appliances used at home are sources of release of carbon particulates. However the primary source of carbon emissions has been motor vehicles that run on petroleum or diesel as fuel. Earlier the number of cars was less and the emission norms were not formed to control the excessive carbon emission. Today the number of cars has risen
the question of how CO2 emission can be reduced in long term. As transport system plays a major role in the increased greenhouse gases, this report highlights the use of future vehicles in the transport sector from an economic, technical and environmental point of view. Through its multi-disciplinary approach the report provides a knowledge base concerning different strategies made by government and recent advancements in automobile sector in order to reduce carbon emission.

Volkswagen is a German car manufacturer that has risen to become the second largest player in the motor vehicle industry in the world, behind Toyota. The organization has approximately 590,000 employees that produce 41,000 cars daily (Bowler, 2015). The organization currently owns 12 subsidiaries that have enabled it to have a significant market share around the world (Bowler, 2015). In addition to producing passenger jobs, it produces Audi, Skoda, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Scania, Man and Lamborghini
Air Pollution in Mexico City Mexico City adds an estimated one million new residents each year, resulting in one million new aggravates to the city’s already abominable air quality (Collins, 119). Over the span of a generation, Mexico City’s air has gone from being one of the world’s cleanest to one of the world’s most polluted, as well as the most polluted in its country. The average visibility in the city is down from almost 100 km in the 1940s to only 1.5 km today, removing the
governing world’s economy and affect every level of population. IC engine is the backbone of automobile sector and uses fossil fuels as source of energy. Modern transportation system heavily relies on fossil-fuel based IC engines but due to toxic emissions in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and unburned hydrocarbons (HCs) etc. in a large amount has caused environmental pollution, global warming and badly affected the ozone layer. Usage of large number
Motor vehicle emissions remain the highest source of air pollution in Australian major cities with Sydney holding the record for the worst air quality in Australia. Although Sydney has comparatively better levels of air quality compared to other major cities in the world, air pollution is still a major environmental and health issue. The NSW Department of Environment and Climate Change have put the cost of this issue to human health at more than $4.7 billion each year in the greater metropolitan
