Emission Quantification for Sustainable Heavy-Duty Transportation

Vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines (ICE) are major contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. Alternatives such as electric, hydrogen fuel cell biofuel-based propulsions being considered a replacement for the well-established ICE vehicles reduce GHG provide sustainable transportation. This paper will compare various heavy-duty vehicle (HDV) propulsion combinations using well-to-wheel (WTW) analysis, separated into two parts: Well-to-Tank (WTT) Tank-to-Wheel (TTW). The WTW analysis of HDV is based Euro VI test engine coupled an dynamometer. energy consumption measured, not estimated, providing closer real-life comparison. detailed comparison alternative analysis. Final results suggest, even EU’s fairly carrier-dependent mix, usage electric systems can reach up 56% emission cut compared conventional ICE.
