The Canadian Urban Transit Research & Innovation Consortium’s new report explores a cleaner and cheaper transit solution using renewable natural gas as a fuel to operate CNG buses. With production offsetting both tailpipe and human activity-related emissions, biomethane has the potential of being zero-carbon and carbon-negative.
Hyliion and Cummins plan to obtain key environmental certifications for Cummins’ natural gas internal combustion engines to be used in Hyliion’s Hypertruck ERX powertrain. The Hyliion Hypertruck ERX is an electric range extender semi-truck powertrain solution using onboard power generation to recharge the batteries.
The Commonwealth of the Pamplona Region presented 13 buses powered by CNG with Renewable Guarantee of Origin that will form part of the fleet of the Regional Urban Transport. The new Scania vehicles are C340 CASTRO New City, seven of them 18-meter articulated and six 12-meter rigid.
BerQ RNG announced the successful startup of an animal manure anerobic digester to renewable natural gas facility located on a dairy farm in Western Michigan. The plant is expected to deliver over 85,000 MMBtu of biomethane annually, equating to approximately 750,000 gasoline gallon equivalents (GGE) of renewable vehicle fuel annually.
The Dongfeng sx5 SUV features a Mitsubishi 1.6 DOCH engine, front airbags, a 451-liter trunk and 16-inch wheels. This car contributes to sustainable mobility by running only on natural gas, which reduces CO2 emissions by up to 30% and the emission of polluting particulate matter by 90%, compared to gasoline and diesel vehicles.
