2010 EPA NOx regulations are leading most OEMs to design in Urea-based SCR catalysts.  Truckers will need to refill the Urea tank periodically and need widespread availability of the chemical solution at most truck stops and fuel depots.  While readily available, the intermodal distribution...

It will only take one public lithium battery operating failure or, worse, one fire to wipe out all of the green goodwill so far generated by the hype machine on behalf of the plug-in hybrid idea.

GM is a zombie company; it is dead and being kept on life support by a reckless and feckless government.

Key automotive technologies are measured by two primary metrics:  performance and long term durability. Automotive components and systems are exposed to extreme conditions on a daily basis and OEMs must accurately simulate these in testing if they are to bring new technologies to market in a timely...

Automotive production declines have alleviated the supply deficit for Platinum since 2007 as consumption for catalytic converters has fallen. Future production rebound and pending emissions regulations will increase demand at or above 2007 levels.

California has the most stringent requirements in the world for retrofitting or re-powering older diesel engines with advanced emission controls. As written the cost for compliance can exceed $10K per engine in many cases. Fleet owners and operators are faced with tough choices as they near compliance...

There is an interesting dichotomy in how most Americans, both the public and the leadership, address alternative energy.  We mouth the rhetoric of "there's no one answer" to replacing present energy conversion and then are as petulant as a child who got underwear instead of a bicycle for Christmas,...

Despite a horrendous housing market, solar powered installations on homes, especially new ones, are becoming a measurable market niche.  This trend is being noted in mainstream homebuilder publications like housingzone.com, which has until now treated solar as something way into the future. ...

Just when you think it's over, and the US solar and wind industries will have to scramble to finish 2008 installations and sweat out 2009 inactivity, Congress has passed fairly close versions of solar and wind power incentives that promise to be at least an adequate patch over to next year, and possibly...
