We've seen a 20% drop in carbon emissions from diesel powered vehicles over the past year. It's thanks to a new policy on responding to automatic fire alarm signals to reduce unnecessary journeys. https://ow.ly/Oozt50Tu2C7 Supporting #ScotClimateWeek

Atlanta is heading into ‘Ozone Season’ and ARC and Georgia’s Clean Air Force want to share ways for residents to reduce pollution from vehicle emissions. The City of Atlanta and ARC are partnering to offer an e-bike rebate program designed to provide affordable transportation options for moderate and low-income individuals. Added benefits of the incentive program include reducing traffic & improving air quality. ARC plans to implement the installation of 300-400 electric vehicle charging ports in Atlanta communities where EV charging opportunities are scarce. Motorists who drive non-electric vehicles can also help reduce air pollution in the metro area. Driving fewer total miles means fewer pollutants enter the air. By combining errands, working remotely, & choosing commuting options other than single-occupant vehicles, Georgians can contribute to a healthier environment. Following a vehicle’s recommended maintenance schedule is another great way to reduce noxious exhaust and ensure a passing emissions inspection. Check out this video on how emissions testing helps our air. https://bit.ly/3VJSbC0 #OneGreatRegion

Why US Towns are Changing Lanes from Electric to Hydrogen Buses June 23, 2024 0 By ERIN KILGORE What’s Driving the Change? One of the primary reasons for the shift from electric to hydrogen buses is the range and reliability of the vehicles. Battery-electric buses typically promise a range of 140 miles for a 60-foot bus and 220 miles for a 40-foot bus. However, many transit agencies, including King County Metro, have experienced range limitations and variability, especially in cold or hot weather. In contrast, hydrogen fuel cell buses can travel up to 300 miles, making them more suitable for all-day, frequent routes.

How will the move towards electric vehicles (or EVs) affect our lives, from our day-to-day commutes to the state of our towns and cities? The RAC gives you a sense of what we can expect, discussing air pollution, noise pollution, climate change, road tax and jobs. https://lnkd.in/evzddX72 #electriccars #renewablenergy #greenenergy

In the race to curb climate emissions by switching to electric vehicles, we need to target “Gasoline Superusers.”  These are the top 10% of drivers in terms of their gasoline use - using more than 5 times the gasoline of other drivers. Our new analysis shows why we need to move from one-size-fits-all EV incentives to strategic policies that target the biggest gasoline users: https://lnkd.in/gGg8En3k
