Diesel Engine Innovations | Board Insights: Jim O’Brien
Hello Readers, I am James Patrick O’Brien and was recently elected to the IACT Board. I am honored by this opportunity and look forward to working with you as we continue advancing IACT’s vision. My background is in chemical safety, hazard assessment, and emergency management, with an emphasis on fuel chemistry. I worked for the […]
Cutting Idling Without Cutting Capability | Innovation Lane
Idle reduction is no longer just a driver behavior issue. For fleets across Classes 1 through 8, it is now a practical technology strategy for reducing fuel use, emissions, noise, and engine wear while still delivering the heat, cooling, and onboard power that vehicles need when parked. Argonne National Laboratory’s March 2026 matrix, Idle Reduction […]
Electric and Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle Best Practices
All vehicles have their own maintenance and performance best practices, and while most people are more comfortable with internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles’ needs, electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) are just as easy to learn. Certain driving and battery best practices and knowledge of electric vehicle chargers can make a big […]
Greater EV Adoption and the Future of the Electric Grid
The rise in electric vehicle ownership has caused some concern about whether or not the US electric grid can handle the influx. According to the Department of Energy, it is projected there will be 30 million to 42 million light-duty plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) on the road by 2030 and zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) sales for […]
What is the Difference Between Propane and Renewable Propane?
Renewable propane is growing in popularity as one of the cleanest fuels available, but how does it differ from regular propane? Propane and renewable propane are chemically the same product and offer similar benefits, but they differ in how they are made and their carbon intensity. What is propane made of and how is it […]
Why Reducing Air Pollution with Alternative Fuels is Vital to Improving Public Health
Transportation is a major contributor to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, playing a significant role in health and climate challenges. Cars, trucks, buses, airplanes, and other vehicles release large amounts of harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. These emissions not only degrade air quality, impacting human health, especially in densely populated and underserved communities, but also accelerate climate change by trapping heat in the atmosphere.
