- Collaborating on diesel emission control
Stringent fuel-efficiency and criteria-pollutant standards call for new combustion strategies. The SwRI-led Advanced Combustion Catalyst and Aftertreatment Technologies consortium reinvents existing technologies and experiments with new catalysts to meet standards. - More intelligence equals more efficiency, enhanced functionality
Advanced systems require renewed focus on architectures, processors, sensors and networks. - Appraising the potential for platooning in the U.S.
Researchers from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory perform statistical analysis based on a large collection of real-world U.S. truck usage data to estimate the fraction of total miles that are technically suitable for platooning. - Connected commercial vehicles bring cybersecurity to the fore
Connectivity, automation and electrification will largely drive vehicle developments in the coming years, according to experts presenting at the revamped SAE COMVEC 17. - Editorial
