Abstract

This report covers work the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) Office of Automotive Engineering has conducted for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in support of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct). Section 1506 of EPAct requires the EPA to produce an updated fuel effects model representing the 2007 light-duty gasoline fleet, including determination of the emissions impacts of increased renewable fuel use.

Exhaust particle characterization for lean and stoichiometric DI vehicles operating on ethanol-gasoline blends

Conference Storey, John; Barone, Teresa; Thomas, John; ...

Gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines can offer better fuel economy and higher performance over their port fuel-injected (PFI) counterparts, and are now appearing in increasingly more U.S. and European vehicles. Small displacement, turbocharged GDI engines are replacing large displacement engines, particularly in light-duty trucks and sport utility vehicles, in order for manufacturers to meet the U.S. fuel economy standards for 2016. Furthermore, lean-burn GDI engines can offer even higher fuel economy than stoichiometric GDI engines and have overcome challenges associated with cost-effective aftertreatment for NOx control. Along with changes in gasoline engine technology, fuel composition may increase in ethanol contentmore »« less

Heavy-Duty Vehicle Activity Updates for MOVES Using NREL Fleet DNA and CE-CERT Data

Technical Report Zhang, Chen; Ficenec, Karen; Kotz, Andrew; ...

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) is a publicly available tool used by researchers and policymakers to help understand motor vehicle emission sources at a national, county, and project level. Estimates of heavy-duty activity in the most recent version of the model at the time this work was conducted, MOVES2014, was identified as an area in need of improvement. The start activity in MOVES2014 is based on a limited and dated data set. In addition, MOVES2014 relies on drive cycles that represent on-network activity but do not account for idling activity that occurs on off-networkmore »« less

Novel Exhaust After Treatment Catalyst

Technical Report Alptekin, Gokhan

The diesel engines are more efficient than their gasoline powered counterparts, and their widespread use in vehicles could significantly reduce fuel consumption. However, diesel engines have a serious drawback, which is their relatively high emissions of particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NO_x)(EPA, 2002). During cold starts, the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is also a concern. Recently, there have been significant breakthroughs in diesel particulate filters, however, the cost effective control of NO_x and VOC emissions (during cold starts) remains unresolved. Reducing the emissions of these contaminants is critical for diesel engines to be widely accepted in themore »« less
Development and Demonstration of a Class 6 Range-Extended Electric Vehicle for Commercial Pickup and Delivery Operation: Preprint

Conference Jeffers, Matthew; Miller, Eric; Kelly, Kenneth; ...

Range-extended hybrids are an attractive option for medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicle fleets because they offer the efficiency of an electrified powertrain with the driving range of a conventional diesel powertrain. The vehicle essentially operates as if it was purely electric for most trips, while ensuring that all commercial routes can be completed in any weather conditions or geographic terrain. Fuel use and point-source emissions can be significantly reduced, and in some cases eliminated, as many shorter routes can be fully electrified with this architecture. Under a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)-funded project for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Powertrain Electrification,more »« less
