How big data and the electric car reveal the future of heavy equipment emissions regulations
Recently I came across a map of the United States published by The Atlanticâs CityLab site that showed where electric vehicles (EVs) were most and least beneficial in terms of reducing air pollution. This map and the thinking behind it is an example of how big data is changing how policy makers will govern many aspects of [âŚ]

Cummins details what new emissions regs will look like in Europe, prospects for Tier 5 in the U.S., and what its next-gen solution entails
At the Intermat show in Paris Tuesday, Cummins discussed what the pending Stage V regulations will require in Europe and what similar regulations, if they occur, will do for engine diesel emissions regulations in the United States. For Stage V, European regulators are trying to get rid of ultra-fine particulate matter in diesel exhaust, particles less [âŚ]

High-pressure, computer-controlled fuel injection key to next-gen heavy-duty diesel engines
Fuel systems for heavy-duty diesel engines have come a long way over the last decade since the advent of federally mandated exhaust emissions standards. Their evolution will continue over the next couple of years as new greenhouse gas regulations come into play. GHG emissions regulations also will be de facto fuel economy standards for heavy-duty [âŚ]

DOZERS REDEFINED: How electronics and machine control made mid-size dozers smarter
Thereâs a direct correlation between power and fuel consumption; more power requires more fuel. Higher injection pressures, careful design of the piston and combustion chamber, turbocharging and other mechanical ploys improve combustion efficiency and help ensure maximum power is extracted from each unit of fuel, but they donât change the fundamentals. More power still requires [âŚ]

Earth Day is dead: the EPAâs fall from a scientific organization to a manipulable political tool
