  1. The Path To Cleaner Cars • Cleaner Fuels • Tighter New Vehicle Standards • Inspection and Maintenance • Other • Scrappage • Retrofit

  2. New Car Emissions Standards in the US

  3. 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 trillion miles 1.5 1.0 0.5 0.0 1950 1955 1965 1995 2000 1960 1990 1980 1970 1975 1985 Calendar Year U.S. Progress towards Clean Fuels and Vehicles Highway Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT)

  4. Economic Growth Can Coexist with Clean Air and Low Energy Consumption

  5. EU Emissions Standards For Petrol Fueled Cars % reduction 100 80 60 40 20 CO NOx 0 1984 1986 1988 1990 HC+NOx 1992 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 Euro I Euro II Euro III Euro IV

  6. Best Practice Pollution Control System Improved Fuel System Improved Controls Internal Engine Improvements Revised Catalyst Formulation Revised Exhaust System Preheated Catalyst (selected applications)

  7. Emissions From Diesel Cars In Europe

  8. Diesel Particulate Filters • Reductions: • -80 to 95% PM • -80-100% HC, CO • -80%+ toxins Trapped PM Cell Plugs Exhaust (CO2, H2O)Out Exhaust(PM, CO, HC)Enter • Issues to balance: • sulfate formation • regeneration and back pressure • Fuel Economy Ceramic HoneycombWall Higher Sulfur Reduces Efficiency, Potential Durability, Fuel Economy

  9. Conventional Diesel G-DI Gasoline and LPG

  10. Meaningful Emission Control Reductions in New Vehicles Requires a Systems Approach Advanced Emission Controls Advanced Engine Designs Retrofit in the case of in-use vehicles Low Emissions High Quality Fuel and Lubricants

  11. ZEV Regulation Restructured in 2003 for More Flexibility Near-Zero Conventional Vehicles (Path 1) 10 % Mandate 6 % >0 - 2 % Battery Electric H2 Fuel Cell (Path 3) 2 - 4 % 2 % Clean Hybrids (Path 2)

  12. Purpose: To Assure that vehicle is properly maintained and used Identify Dirtiest Vehicles & Get Them Repaired Identify Unsafe vehicles & Get them Repaired General Attributes: Relatively short Relatively simple Test Types Idle 2-Stage Idle Steady Speed Loaded Transient Loaded Variety of Safety Tests Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) Program

  13. Program Type Effectiveness Enforcement Test types Network design Frequency Quality of repairs Cost Economies of scale Sophistication Capital Operations Economic Impact Ability to pay for repairs Waivers Scrappage Alternatives Institutional Support Audits Oversight Training Inspection/Maintenance Considerations

  14. Test Type: IM240 CVS IM240 Test Cycle: Transient, loaded mode Analyzers Fuel: As received FID - HC Lab grade Emissions Measurements: Mass - grams/mile NDIR - CO Lab grade Vehicle: As received NDIR - CO2 Lab grade Chem. Lum. - NOx Lab grade 8.5 in. - 20 in. Electric Dynamometer 240 sec 57 mph Speed Time

  15. IM240 Test Cycle: Transient, loaded mode Test Type: Mass 31 or IM240 or Other Analyzers Fuel: As received NDIR - HC Field grade Emissions Measurements: Mass - grams/mile NDIR - CO Field grade Vehicle: As received NDIR - CO2 Field grade VMAS Fuel Cell - NOx 8.5 in. - 20 in. Electric Dynamometer MASS 31 Test Cycle: Transient, loaded mode 240 sec 57 mph 31 sec 31 sec 31 sec 30 mph Speed Speed Time Time

  16. PC and software to estimate mass emissions Driving cycle display gas analyser for raw exhaust Dynamometer (simple rollers with flywheels)

  17. Definition Measure emissions while vehicle drives on road Features Measures HC, CO, NOx May measure speed or acceleration. etc. Uses lasers or NDIR Tests many cars per hour Set up on roadways Takes picture of license plate Advantages Very cheap tests Complements I/M Prevent readjustment Screen Uninspected Vehicles Challenges Comprehensiveness Selecting Appropriate Locations Single Lanes Slight Acceleration Remote Sensing

  18. Applications • Auditing • Over 1 million vehicles tested worldwide • Very Good For Seeing Trends • Clean Screening • Useful Complement To High Quality Comprehensive I/M Program • Colorado’s RapidScreen • Dirty Screening • Useful In Areas With Limited or Weak I/M Programs • California/Swedish Studies Show Very Good Results • Requires Good Registration Data • Good Also For Central Fleets

  19. Other • Scrappage • Retrofit • Alternative Fuels

  20. Why Use Alternative Fuels? • Petroleum Displacement • Energy Diversity • Air Quality Improvement • Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions • Domestic Economic Development

  21. Alternative Transportation Fuels • Electricity • Ethanol • Hydrogen • Methanol • Natural Gas • Compressed • Liquefied • Propane (LPG) • 100% Biodiesel

  22. Alternative Fuel Vehicles Available Now • Ethanol • Natural Gas • Propane (LPG)

  23. Very Low Emissions Good Performance Lower Cost Fuel Limited Range, but Adequate for Most Applications Few Refueling Stations Higher Cost Vehicle Natural Gas Vehicles Ford Crown Victoria Ford F-150 Honda Civic New Flyer D40 LF Bus

  24. Low Emissions Good Performance Cost Similar to Gasoline Few Typical Refueling Stations, Many Potential Places to Refuel Higher Vehicle Cost Propane Vehicles Ford Club Wagon Ford F-150

  25. Ultrafine Particles Vary For Different Fuels Conventional Diesel G-DI Gasoline and LPG

  26. Low GHGs Less Reactive Subsidy Required to be Cost Competitive Ethanol Vehicles Ford Taurus Ford Ranger Chrysler Minivan

  27. Long-term Outcomes With Alternative Fuels • Billions of gallons of oil displaced or reduced • Thousands of tons of emission reductions • Enhanced energy security and improved transportation sustainability

  28. Singapore: Key ingredients for success • Effective Government and Comprehensive Management • A stable Government • with the power, institutional capacity and mandate to regulate and enforce urban transport measures • A comprehensive transport planning and management system - the Land Transport Authority (LTA) • plans, develops, implements and manages transport infrastructure and policies including the regulation of public transport services (both bus and rail) • Singapore gets top ratings • for bus, MRT, LRT and taxi services in “convenience, accessibility, savings in travel time, reliability and comfort”.
