<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Saudi company Aramco recently unveiled to the public for the first time its low CO2 Class 8 heavy-duty truck that utilizes one of the company\u2019s flagship technologies, a mobile carbon capture system that dramatically reduces CO2 emissions at the tailpipe.<\/p>\n
The truck, on display at the SAE Innovations in Mobility conference in suburban Detroit, employs a number of carbon emissions reducing technologies to drop carbon emissions to an estimated 50% of the baseline vehicle.<\/p>\n
The largest reduction comes from the mobile carbon capture system that was integrated into a Volvo VNL400 Class 8 truck. The system has demonstrated a CO2 capture rate of over 40% in the laboratory, and it will soon undergo road tests as part of Aramco\u2019s efforts to develop technologies that improve the sustainability of transportation.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cThis system offers a compelling option to reduce carbon emissions from heavy-duty vehicles. It is a potentially game changing technology that offers the potential for deep decarbonization of the transport sector,\u201d said Esam Hamad, leader of the mobile carbon capture program.<\/p>\n
Aramco\u2019s previous mobile carbon capture research has included demonstration systems on a Ford F250 and Toyota Camry. Incorporating the latest technologies developed by Aramco, the most recent commercial truck demonstrator substantially increases the potential to reduce CO2 emissions in transport.<\/p>\n
To reach 50% CO2 emissions reduction, the truck also incorporates a number of other innovative technologies.\u00a0 Volvo offers both a liftable axle and engine turbocompounding to raise the efficiency of the truck and these both appear on the demonstrator.<\/p>\n
In addition, Aramco has outfitted the vehicle with single-wide, low rolling resistance tires, as well as a low friction engine lubricant, and plans to convert the engine to run on a lower carbon content gasoline in the future.<\/p>\n
