Optimizing Gasoline Engine Emissions with CrownRe's Advanced Catalyst Technologies for Passenger Cars and Hybrid Vehicles Gasoline engines remain the most prevalent internal combustion engines (ICEs) in passenger cars and light-duty vehicles (LDVs). With the rise of hybrid electric vehicles, which combine ICE and battery power, the automotive industry is evolving. Since the introduction of the three-way catalyst (TWC) in the late 1980s and early 1990s, gasoline engine emissions have seen significant reductions. Fuel-saving technologies, such as gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines, have gained widespread market acceptance, especially with the increasing focus on global warming and greenhouse gas emissions reduction. The latest engine technologies not only improve efficiency but also comply with increasingly stringent global emission standards across all regions and markets. This necessitates sophisticated exhaust gas aftertreatment solutions. CrownRe develops cutting-edge catalyst technologies to convert and reduce harmful pollutants like hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), ammonia (NH3), and particulate matter (PM). Our catalytic converters are renowned globally for their thermal durability and rapid response time. Our comprehensive technology portfolio for gasoline, hybrid electric, and alternative fuel vehicles includes: Three-Way Catalysts (TWC): Efficiently convert HC, NOx, and carbon monoxide (CO). Catalyzed Gasoline Particulate Filters (cGPF): Reduce particulate matter while simultaneously converting HC, NOx, and CO. HC Traps: Specifically designed to reduce HC emissions. Electrically Heated Catalysts (EHC): TWC coated on electrically heated substrates for enhanced performance. Secondary Emission Catalysts (SET): Effective in reducing NH3 and N2O emissions. By leveraging CrownRe's advanced catalyst technologies, automotive manufacturers can significantly optimize gasoline engine emissions, meeting the highest environmental standards while enhancing vehicle performance. www.cnretec.com www.crownre.cn [email protected]

🚀 How can industry leaders leverage fuel cell technology for zero-emission trucking? While the use of fuel cell technology in trucks is still at a nascent stage, a transformative shift is underway. With significant advancements in fuel cell capabilities and improved hydrogen storage solutions, hydrogen-powered trucks are being envisioned as a formidable solution, especially in scenarios where heavy battery-electric trucks fall short. Join us tomorrow, July 30, as a panel of industry experts delve into the current state of zero-emission trucking in North America and Europe, provide perspectives into the fuel cell value chain, and address key challenges related to alternative powertrain adoption. 🌟 Reserve your spot now to gain invaluable perspectives and drive the future of zero-emission trucking: https://hubs.la/Q02JcpVQ0 Saideep Sudhakar | Marshall Martin | Shyam Sundar | Manek Kohli

A great opportunity for growth developing new products exploiting new territories and bringing even better value and performance to our valued customers…..wow how exciting is this news for the future and the electric mobility landscape globally….. #GlobalExpansion #PowertrainAdvantage #ElectricPower #ElectricPropulsion #Helix #StrategicPartnership #InnovationLeadership #Sustainability

Another step towards #sustainability getting more #FCEV on the road for a better #future. #hydrogen is part of the #energytransition.

TOYOTA’s honorable environmental care with longterm thinking and reality 💚 on a challenging pathway ( love ❤️ to support this with every single TOYOTA car I bring on the road ) vs. Pretended environmental care without a global or longterm idea in order to maximise short term profits, no matter if there are enough resources for future generations, no matter if in the end it will make a difference or a better tomorrow. ( I love to fight against this 👊) #toyota #mirai #beyondzero #hydrogen #circulareconomy #maninharmonywithnature #freshwater #thinkglobalandlongterm #dontfollowcrowdswithoutthinking

“GILLIG Expands Zero-Emission Lineup with Introduction of BAE Systems & Ballard-Powered #HydrogenFuelCellElectricBus ” Apr 25 “Livermore, CA; April 24, 2024 – GILLIG, a leading manufacturer of heavy-duty transit buses in the United States, announced today the expansion of its #zeroemission product lineup. The company will be expanding its diverse transit bus portfolio with a #hydrogenfuelcellpoweredbus , to be developed in collaboration with BAE Systems and Ballard Power Systems. This innovative venture underlines GILLIG's ongoing commitment to innovation, sustainability, and delivering adaptable, high-quality transit solutions tailored to the diverse needs of fleets nationwide.” “"Our collaboration with Ballard Power Systems and BAE Systems embodies our commitment to leading the industry through thoughtful innovation and intentional partnerships," said Grunat. "By integrating Ballard’s state-of-the-art #fuelcelltechnology and BAE Systems' versatile #electricpowertrain with GILLIG's trusted Low Floor Platform, we are creating a #longrange , #zeroemissionsolution that does not compromise on safety, efficiency, or quality that transit agencies have come to expect from GILLIG.”” https://lnkd.in/exA5yAUF Source- original post Read all my posts #MariusPreston

Press conference at IAA TRANSPORTATION of MAN Truck & Bus SE is running. Great news: We present our full ePortfolio - from 12 to 50 tons - with its modular battery system with up to seven packs now leading to ranges of up to 650 Kilometers without charging. Our zero emission portfolio is completed by our hTGX, suited with an hydrogen combustion engine. And even in our conventional portfolio we take a further step in fuel efficiency of up to four percent. This leads to cost savings of approximately 20000 Euros per year at current Diesel prices and a reduction of 35 tons of CO2 emissions.

Fantastic article from Gareth Purdy on Project Trident and its commitment to developing the next-generation propulsion technologies that can realise zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles. A project funded through the Advanced Propulsion Centre UK that is unlocking the potential of e-turbos, their application in heavy transport, and their pivotal role in redefining the efficiency landscape of thermal propulsion powertrains. Give it a read!

Plug Power has developed a Class 6, medium-duty fuel cell electric truck powered by hydrogen. Suitable for middle-mile deliveries, the vehicle can travel up to 500 miles utilising an “industry-proven” electric propulsion system powered by Plug’s ProGen fuel cell technology. In addition to its extended range, which will be crucial for middle-mile deliveries, the vehicle does not require a commercial driver’s license (CDL) for operation, making it more accessible. The product is currently in its final integration and testing phase, with on-road operational pilots set to begin this summer (2024) in collaboration with Plug’s key market leader logistics customers. Its following phase will provide valuable real-world data and feedback. https://lnkd.in/enWntfeZ
