Summaries of technical papers
Direct manufacturing cost of BEV vs ICE
A summary of a study comparing the direct manufacturing costs of the VW Tiguan and ID4
True total cost of ownership still a decade away
New study analyzes the cost of transition to electric vehicles in California, including socio-economic factors. The burden will shift to lower income groups in later years.
Preparing for Euro VII : Sub-23 nm particles
Starting with Euro 7 regulations in Europe, particles down to 10 nm will be counted and regulated, a change from the current cut-off of 23 nm, reflecting both the increasing awareness of health impact due to ultra-fine particles and also improved measurement capabilities. We give an overview of the issue.
A good review of lithium-ion battery cost reductions
This publication by Micah Ziegler and Jessika Trancik from MIT explores the correlation of the decline in price with improved technology (Moore’s Law), cumulative production (Wright’s Law), annual production (Goddard’s Law) and R&D activity as measured via patent filings.
Designing Next Generation Exhaust Aftertreatment Systems Using Machine Learning
Machine Learning (ML) techniques are increasingly being used to reduce development costs and timelines for emissions control design optimization. This article provides a summary of a recent paper by a leading OEM, which discusses the approach.
A new pathway for low temperature N2O formation on SCR catalysts
Quick – what’s the biggest source of N2O ? Researchers are looking at new ways to prevent N2O formation in diesel exhaust. This article covers an example of fundamental insights of N2O formation on SCR catalysts. Read on to know more and find the answer to the question !
