Passenger and freight transport is estimated to account for 20% of Europe’s total CO2 emissions, which is why the European Union continues to set new limits on the sector’s emissions. For example, the current regulation provides for a further 15% reduction in CO2 emissions for all vehicles by 2025.
In times of economic crisis and rising fuel prices, drivers are looking for the most economical vehicles possible, while manufacturers are looking for the best ways to efficiently comply with increasingly stringent emission limits. An interesting alternative to the still relatively expensive green modes of transportation are vehicles labeled with the acronym mHEV. What exactly is a mild hybrid?
Fuel cell engines are increasingly popular in the range of top car manufacturers. These are a solution with many benefits – great importance is attached e.g. to high efficiency, which allows such units to be used even in buses.
Modern computer simulations make it possible to accurately digitally represent objects and the impacts they may be subjected to. This method finds excellent application especially in the development of products that, by virtue of their purpose, must have high strength. At Knauf Industries, it is used on a daily basis in the design and development of modern transport packaging made of foamed EPP and EPS plastics.
Efficient airbags can save the lives of the driver and passengers in the event of an accident. How does an airbag safety system actually work, what affects the reliability of such solutions and what are the legal issues surrounding airbags?
