Pro-Choice, but telling people what to do. Stop having kids to save the environment.

None of these leftist cucks know what they are talking about.

They keep claiming they want to cut down on carbon, but all they really want to do is move the pollution to somewhere else.

Each "green energy" program somehow manages to use more resources than the original as well.

That truck Siemans is promoting is no EV. It's a hybrid. Combustion engine and generator on board, along with batteries PLUS overhead wire input. Glad I wont be trying to work on it to fix something.

It's kind of like their engineering department had a challenge to see how many power sources they could throw on one vehicle. Wonder if that engine is dual or triple-fuel compatible too ?

Liberals. Trying to make everybody happy by satisfying nobody.

An ultra-low NOx [nitrogen oxides] diesel engine, combined with decarbonized fuel, can be a powerful air quality and climate solution for the most demanding duty cycles needing long range, route variability, and heaviest loads. This demonstration project will support commercialization and widespread adoption of an opposed piston engine that is capable of meeting California's ultralow NOx requirements (0.02 g/bhp-hr) while simultaneously providing a 15-20% increase in fuel efficiency compared to 2017 EPA requirements in Class 7-8 trucks. This demonstration supports CARB’s goals of reducing emissions needed to meet air quality standards and reducing CO2 emissions from larger trucks for which there is a shortage of other available options.

The Opposed Piston Engine Class 8 Demonstration Project will deploy and validate with major truck, engine and fleet partners a world-leading engine design that will meet California’s ultralow NOx requirement (0.02 g/bhp-hr) while simultaneously providing a 15-20% increase in fuel efficiency compared to 2017 EPA requirements. This will be the first demonstration in the United States of a high-efficiency AND low NOx engine / powertrain vehicle in Classes 7-8. The CALSTART-managed project combines two proven solutions – the Opposed Piston (OP) engine, largely developed by Achates Power, Inc., and the ultralow NOx after-treatment system developed by Southwest Research Institute.

The Ultra-Low NOx Heavy-Duty Truck Demonstrator program is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide program that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy and improving public health and the environment—particularly in disadvantaged communities.

More additives. Brilliant.

I've spent the past 2 years playing around with ev's and hybrids. Not the same scale but same principal.

Know how I solved the weight, speed and range limitations ? Same way its always been solved. A screaming-loud, polluting, oil-burning 2-stroke I.C.E.

Know why I am even BOTHERING with the electric component ? Because as of this year, you cant even register a moped in Ontario. November last year the feds stopped regulating powered bikes, mopeds, e-bikes, small motorcycles, ect. and dumped it all in the provinces laps. If it aint a full-size car or motorcycle, the feds dont wanna know about it.

The Ontario bureaucrats have completely eliminated all definitions that would even remotely apply to home-built motorcycles or smaller ICE's and left the category as electric-only. More green madness. Soooo....I'll just circumvent them by slapping on the electric drive then if they want to ticket me for 'unregistered/uninsured" let them PROVE which system is putting power to the back wheel at any given time.

It meets all the electric power-bike definitions, cant do jack about it. Nothing in the regs says it cant have a supplemental gas engine.

I get my go-fast and long-distance range with no hassles like it used to be and they get to STFU and FO.

I suspect the trucking industry will be solving a lot of regulatory problems the same way.

' OMG ! '
' He's got diesel under his fingernails ! '
' That's so racist ! '
Sounds insane, looks insane, must be insane.
Pelosi mob insane.
' Make them an offer they can't refuse. '
fjb and pelosi too.

Maybe Newsom needs to fly to India and have a meeting about air quality since no other countries really give a crap. These are ALCO Locomotives used in India today. It's nice to see our state wasting billions of dollars for a lost cause.
