Hi Newbie, thank you for the good luck post.
All the best
Hi Ian, good luck with the glasses I hope it works out well. Mazda have a similar car just being brought onto the market this year too. GLA
Morning Anders,
The particulate filter will not add much to the overall backpressure, if you take a turbo engined car, for example, the backpressure is considerable but outweighed by the commensurable overall gain, but it will be a nice use of some of our Platinium. I see the EV market has taken another twist and due to the foreseen Grid loading and most people in the UK not actually having a driveway and having to park in the road somewhere that a new form of Mild Hybrid has been invented over the normal Hybrid or EV, Quote from Kia - How does a mild hybrid car work?
A mild hybrid car works in a very similar way to a self-charging hybrid car, but it has a smaller battery. Because the battery is smaller, a mild hybrid cannot drive on battery power alone – unlike a self-charging hybrid in which the motor can take over at low speed or when cruising.
Instead, the petrol or diesel engine does the majority of the work and the electric motor is there to provide assistance. This means the engine doesn’t have to work as hard, which means lower emissions and increased fuel economy. The battery is charged by recovering energy that would otherwise be wasted – when slowing down for example. There is no need to plug-in a mild hybrid, simply keep it topped up with petrol or diesel as you would with a conventional car.
What will they think of next? so Petrol and Diesel not going anywhere soon and requiring lots more of our lovely PGM's.
My point is if let's say London wants to clean up the air not to just do a blanket ban all Diesel passenger cars but to do it on the number plate recognition and charge due to deemed emissions output that it could itself set, not just blame the latest deemed dirty vehicle as it is not true across the board.
All the best
Morning Lucretius, yes fine thanks, I have booked an eye test to see if a new prescription of glasses will correct this blurred vision as when I walk down the road and see a lamp post in the distance I see three of them merged into one wide one, most disconcerting, fine if I close the bad eye. I hope you are well and did you finish off the painting?
Morning Ian,
I read an article that petrol cars will soon come with particulate filters, I can't imagine that will help fuel economy with the extra back pressure...
Good reply Lucretius, spot-on. Governments are not normally proactive and mostly reactive to any new information, so cleaner emissions will be required going forward, as an example, the Hydrogen Fuel cell EV will be the cleanest going forward, but with Shell only now thinking of building its third forecourt filling station and only currently having two, this could be a long way off.
The Diesel engine is 20% more efficient than Petrol but has the Dirty name due to particulates but this has been cleaned up and the new generation of direct injection Petrol engines emit 8-10 times more particulates than a DPF fitted Diesel engine.
It all depends on what is the latest pollutant that they want to clean up on, is it Co2, is it Nox, or is it particulates, all of which can be reduced with varying ratios of the three PGMs in our basket. Quote for the day, the disparity between our share price and the value of the PGM's within our curtilage has never been greater.
Hi and welcome. Did you mean to call yourself the rock hoper (wishing well/good thoughts) or rock hopper (jumping about)?
Good luck with your investments. Are you invested here? What price did you get in at or are you hoping for a lower share price before you commit?
Governments are well known for the lowering of standards as it suits them. Could do they do this with the control of vehicular emissions if palladium becomes too difficult or too much?
