Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 13:22:03 GMT

On November 21, 2023, the plenary vote for CO2 emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) will take place in the European Parliament. Growing evidence about potential raw materials shortages, insufficient battery production capacity in the EU, increased repair costs for BEVs, together with large infrastructure and grid needs reinforce the call to vote for a technology-inclusive approach, to ensure that the decarbonization of HDVs can be achieved within the proposed timeframe by expanding technology options for compliance, for the benefit of climate, security of supply, transport value chain and consumers.Via FuelsEuropeToday the resilience and flexibility of European logistics is based on liquid fuels Heavy-duty transport is a vital sector for the functioning of the EU internal market, but today it is also responsible for just over a quarter of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from road transport, and for about 6 percent of the EU’s total GHG emissions.Today...

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 13:22:03 GMT

Here’s what The Baltimore Sun sports staff had to say immediately after the Ravens’ 33-31 loss to the visiting Cleveland Browns in Sunday’s Week 10 game at M&T Bank Stadium.Brian Wacker: The Ravens were on the verge of another blowout. Then self-inflicted wounds did them in at the end of the first half and late in the game with Lamar Jackson throwing two interceptions. The second one went for a touchdown and gave the Browns life.Much like their losses to the Colts and Steelers, this was a game the Ravens gave away, be it with turnovers, an inability to stop the Browns’ running game or failure to finish drives.Special teams issues also cropped up again with Justin Tucker’s 55-yard field goal getting blocked near the end of the first half. And the Ravens strangely went away from running back Keaton Mitchell in the second half, with the rookie getting just one touch after flashing with a couple of explosive plays, including a 39-yard touchdown run in t...
