The report documents revisions made to the Wharton EFA Automobile Demand Model to produce the Wharton EFA Motor Vehicle Demand Model (Mark I). the mpg rating of the vehicle would be higher than if the vehicle operated on gasoline. or propane fuel is one of many potentially cost-effective strategies for reducing a local government's. Assessment of Technologies and Approaches for Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles, Phase 2 Examine other vehicle technologies, including aerodynamic drag reduction, improved efficiency of accessories such as alternators, and the conversion of engine-driven equipment to electricity (e.g., HVAC, fans, and water.

Ethanol could play an important role in reducing petroleum consumption by enabling a substantial increase in the fuel efficiency of gasoline engine vehicles. This ethanol boosted engine concept uses a small amount ethanol to increase the efficiency of use of a much larger amount of gasoline by approximately 30%.Cited by: 3. It can be made from natural gas now and from coal later. One major practical problem is that motor vehicle consumption for a fuel has to reach 10 percent of the present market to create an economically viable free market (Society of Automotive Engineers/U.S. Department of Energy ).

the energy needed to propel the vehicle through the UDC, Reducing Gasoline Consumption: Three Policy Options. Compressed air vehicles can be an alternative for new, low polluting emissions. An accurate analysis concerning the barriers to reducing the fuel consumption can be obtained by using the game theory method in the light-duty vehicles.

Get this from a library. Strategies for reducing gasoline consumption through improved motor vehicle efficiency: a report of an informal Transportation Research Board workshop. [National Research Council (U.S.). Transportation Research Board.

Committee on Energy Conservation and Transportation Demand.;] -- This report contains a summary of a workshop held by the TRB Committee on Energy. The fuel economy of an automobile relates distance traveled by a vehicle and the amount of fuel consumed.

Consumption can be expressed in terms of volume of fuel to travel a distance, or the distance travelled per unit volume of fuel consumed. Since fuel consumption of vehicles is a significant factor in air pollution, and since importation of motor fuel can be a large part of a nation's L/ km → km/20 L:L, /,k, m, =, 1, k, m, /, 20, L, {\displaystyle {\frac {}{\rm {L/\;km}}}={\rm {1\;km/20\;L}}}.

With full emphasis on reducing actual fuel consumption rather than on increasing vehicle performance and size, at a fuel price of $per gallon and a 7 percent discount rate over 15 years (the average vehicle lifetime) andmiles, improved gasoline engines fully pay back the retail price increase (relative to a current vehicle. Oct 26, · The U.S. Department of Energy Alternative Fuels Data Center provides information, data, and tools to help vehicle fleets and transportation decision makers find ways to reduce petroleum consumption through the use of alternative and renewable fuels, advanced vehicles, and other fuel-saving measures. Reducing Fuel Consumption and Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Medium- and Heavyautomatic tire inflation systems, improved transmissions, improved efficiency of accessories, fans, and water pumps, and other approaches. Evaluate the potential for reducing vehicle mass including technologies such as materials substitution, and the use of new. Reducing Aerodynamic Drag and Fuel Consumption Improved fuel economy from other shape changes The DOE effort to reduce truck aerodynamic drag* The DOE Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Office of FreedomCAR & Vehicle Technologies, supports a collaborative effort of 9 organizations: LLNL, SNL, ANL,NASA Ames, USC, Caltech, UTC, Auburn, GTRI. Efficient energy use, sometimes simply called energy efficiency, is the goal to reduce the amount of energy required to provide products and services. For example, insulating a home allows a building to use less heating and cooling energy to achieve and maintain a comfortable temperature. Reducing the number of vehicles in any given fleet is the most proven way to reduce overall costs. The average total cost of ownership (TCO) for a light-duty vehicle (under 10,pounds GVWR) ranges from$5, to $8, per vehicle, per year. Eliminating vehicles offers a potential savings opportunity of more than$, per year. The energy efficiency in transport is the useful travelled distance, of passengers, goods or any type of load; divided by the total energy put into the transport propulsion means.

The energy input might be rendered in several different types depending on the type of propulsion, and normally such energy is presented in liquid fuels, electrical energy or food energy. Sep 03,  · If you’re a for-profit business, reducing operating costs will have a direct impact on your profitability.

Operating cost ratios. Understanding your operating costs is significant because it allows you to derive many other relevant business figures and ratios. Below are the two most important data points that you can obtain through operating 3/5(2).
