NON POLLUANT [8 records]

Record 1 2022-04-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Types of Motor Vehicles and Bicycles
  • Anti-pollution Measures
CONT

Zero-emission buses (ZEBs) are an effective and efficient way for communities to reduce their carbon footprint. ZEBs and transit system electrification help combat climate change, improve air quality, and provide a stable infrastructure that is less reliant on fossil fuels and fluctuating energy costs.

Key term(s)
  • non polluting bus

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sortes de véhicules automobiles et de bicyclettes
  • Mesures antipollution
CONT

[...] le Québec travaille à accélérer le développement de camions et d'autobus zéro émission pour réduire la pollution atmosphérique et lutter contre les changements climatiques.

Subject field(s)
  • Types of Motor Vehicles and Bicycles
  • Anti-pollution Measures
CONT

To accelerate the manufacturing and adoption of cleaner cars, the federal government will put in place a sales mandate to ensure at least 20 per cent of new light-duty vehicle sales will be zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) by 2026 ...

CONT

A ZEV is a vehicle that has the potential to produce no tailpipe emissions. They can still have a conventional internal combustion engine, but must also be able to operate without using it.

CONT

Les véhicules à carburant de remplacement et les véhicules sans émissions permettent de réduire non seulement la pollution atmosphérique locale, mais aussi les émissions de dioxyde de carbone du parc grandissant de véhicules légers du pays.

OBS

véhicule à émission zéro; VEZ : désignations et définition publiées au Journal officiel de la République française le 22 février 2009.

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
CONT

The measure concerns public support granted by the UK [United Kingdom] authorities to a research project in the field of aero-engines called Environmentally Friendly Engine (EFE). EFE is a project conceived to contribute to the goals of improved environmental performance of aero-engines set by ACARE1, the industry's technological platform, which has defined the technological paths and objectives until 2020 in its Strategic Research Agenda. In particular, the objectives of ACARE are to reduce emissions of CO2 [carbon dioxide], NOx and noise. The project envisages carrying out industrial research in order to develop technologies that would enable meeting stricter environmental standards and reduce ownership costs. In particular, the project aims at contributing to the following ACARE's goals: - A reduction in perceived noise to a half of current average levels; - A 50% cut in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per passenger kilometre (which means a 50% cut in fuel consumption); - An 80% cut in nitrogen dioxide (NOx) emissions; - Reduction in the weight of the engine.

La nouvelle compagnie aérienne helvétique Swiss a annoncé une commande de moteurs CFM56-5C4/P d'une valeur de 300 millions de dollars pour équiper les 13 Airbus long-courriers A340-300 qu'elle vient d'acquérir. Ce moteur propre et peu gourmand en carburant contribuera à la politique de dimunition des coûts d'exploitation engagée par Swiss. Il est le dernier développement en date du CFM56-5C réalisé par CFM International, société commune à 50/50 entre Snecma Moteurs et General Electric.
