State Diesel Emission Inspection Programs: Trends and Outcomes
Substantial progress has been made over the last decade in reducing emissions from heavy-duty diesel engines used in trucks and buses, and the newer engines are virtually smoke free. However, some fraction of the in-use fleet of heavy-duty diesel powered vehicles is improperly maintained or maladjusted and emits excessive smoke...
Diesel-Electric Hybrid Vehicles
Diesel power plays a central role in one of the most important new powertrain technologies for reducing vehicle emissions and fuel consumption from heavy-duty vehicles: hybrid-electric technology. Hybrid-electric vehicles HEVs are vehicles that are powered both by an electric motor and by an internal combustion engine, including diesel engines. Today's...
Diesel Technology and the California Economy
Diesel engines drive most of the tractors that plow fields and move dirt, and have made a dramatic contribution to the increase in productivity that has exemplified California agriculture since World War II. Diesel fuels the trucks, trains and ships that move most of the freight carried in the state....
What Is Clean Diesel?: Powering America
Diesel is the world's most efficient internal combustion engine. It provides more power and more fuel efficiency than alternatives such as gasoline, compressed natural gas or liquefied natural gas. Fuel combustion is the primary difference between gasoline and diesel engines. Gasoline engines ignite fuel with spark plugs, whereas diesels ignite...
Diesel and the Environment: Contributing to America's Remarkable Clean Air Progress
Diesel is the world's most efficient internal combustion engine, providing more power and fuel efficiency than other alternatives. But that's not all diesel offers. Today's clean diesel engines are more environmentally friendly than ever before, making the noise and smoke previously associated with diesel a thing of the past. Despite...
Diesel Technology Forum: Cleaner Air, Better Performance: Strategies for Upgrading and Modernizing Diesel Engines
America needs diesel engines and cleaner air; advanced clean diesel technology offers both. Diesel power drives the economy by building our nation's infrastructure of roads and bridges, taking crops from the field to food on the table and providing vital transportation of people and goods in the most efficient and...
Diesel-Powered Machines and Equipment: Essential Uses, Economic Importance and Environmental Performance
Diesel offers an unmatched range of performance and economic advantages over other forms of power, including better durability, greater energy efficiency, increased engine safety, more low speed torque and suitability for very large applications. Non-road equipment powered by diesel engines puts food on our tables; builds our homes, schools, factories...
Cleaner Air, Better Performance: Strategies for Upgrading and Modernizing Diesel Engines
America needs diesel engines and cleaner air; advanced clean diesel technology offers both. Diesel power drives the economy by building their nation's infrastructure of roads and bridges, taking crops from the field to food on the table and providing vital transportation of people and goods in the most efficient and...
Reducing California Petroleum Consumption With Increased Use of High Efficiency Clean Diesel Technology
Under a market scenario allowing for a 25% market penetration rate in diesel automobiles and light trucks, California could save over 530 million gallons of gasoline-equivalent fuel per year by 2030. If diesel passenger vehicle penetration reaches 32%, a level akin to that seen today in Europe, then California could...
Demand for Diesels: The European Experience - Harnessing Diesel Innovation for Passenger Vehicle Fuel Efficiency and Emissions Objectives
With major European and American auto manufacturers already planning diesel introductions of popular models into the U.S. market as early as 2004, many predict that diesel is poised to make a comeback in the United States, thanks to new, clean diesel technologies. This paper - Demand for Diesels: The European...
Preserving Public Safety: The Facts About Diesel Power Generation
Diesel-powered generators can save lives during a power crisis. Interruptions of electrical power ? even of short duration ? create situations that could imperil public health and safety. Blackouts also wreak havoc for businesses and create significant inconveniences for individuals. Emergency generators must be able to provide reliable, immediate and...
Engineering Clean Air: The Continuous Improvement of Diesel Engine Emission Performance
The diesel industry has made great progress on a path of continuous improvement to virtually eliminate the key pollutants associated with on-road diesel engines. This transformation is of critical importance, because diesel plays a central role in economic activity. This paper explains the inherent performance advantages of diesel; provides an...
Diesel Technology and the American Economy
The first step in modeling the role of the diesel industry in the U.S. economy is to define the industry. Diesel technology is used in a variety of different kinds of equipment, which makes it necessary to establish a clear definition of those types of equipment that are in the...
Public Transportation: Fueling the Movement of People
More than fourteen million Americans rely on public transit services to get to work, around town, to school and to other cities. Diesel is the predominant power source for public transit buses school buses and intercity bus service throughout the U.S. because of its safety, reliability and efficiency. Diesel power...
Construction
America's construction industry depends on diesel's power, versatility, reliability and durability. Diesel engines are uniquely capable of doing demanding construction work - like lifting steel beams, digging foundations, drilling wells, trenching for utilities, grading, paving new roads or moving earth - safely and efficiently. Earthmovers, bulldozers, bucket loaders, backhoes, cranes,...
Freight Transport: Delivering for America
Diesel power dominates the movement of America's freight in trucks, trains, boats and barges. Fully 94% of our goods are shipped using diesel power - no other power source can match diesel in the ability to move freight economically. The food we eat, the clothes we wear and the furniture...
Scope of Utility Diesel Applications
Within the electric utility industry, diesels serve as prime power, standby power and emergency power applications, ranging from 8 kW generators to 4000 kW power units. Diesel generators serve as backup power to nuclear power plants because of their reliability. They are used to power critical systems and maintain plant...
Scope of Railroad Diesel Applications
Efficient train transportation is a vital factor in the strength of the U.S. economy. Approximately one-third of the freight hauled in the United States is by train and, with the added passenger transportation use; there are very few citizens in the United States who are not ultimate consumers of the...
Mining: Harnessing Natural Resources
Everything begins with mining - extracting the raw materials on which the nation depends to provide energy, generate electricity and produce a myriad of products used in their daily lives. The American mining and mineral extraction sector relies heavily on diesel power to harness natural resources such as aggregates, precious...
Scope of Cars, Pickups and SUVs Diesel Applications
Advanced modern diesel cars, pickups and SUVs sport utility vehicles hold great promise for helping the U.S. achieve its energy and environmental goals. Today's clean diesel cars, pickups and SUVs are cleaner, quieter and more powerful than ever before. And because diesels burn less fuel than gasoline vehicles, they also...
