Training for this system project is set to be conducted at the company’s service center in Cleveland, Ohio. Travel accommodations will be set for every personnel necessary for the training. Knowing Huffman Trucking stays operational, it may be difficult for some to attend. However, it is mandatory that training is received and recorded for knowledgeable recognition of this system. Russell Smith and Brenntag are the potential stakeholders at this present time of the project, however, that may be subject to change once the system is fully implemented. The overall objective of and outcome for this project is to become in compliance with The Environmental Protection Agency, having a complete fleet of transportation equipment with Diesel Exhaust Fluids. Transforming to a DEF operation will eventually reduce cost on engine maintenance and better performance, creating a profit for Huffman Trucking…
The idea behind the Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) was intended to reduce emissions (generated by burning fossil fuels) that are polluting our air and depleting the ozone. AFV’s also help reduce our dependence on foreign oil (mostly from a highly unstable region of the world). Prior to a decision being made whether or not to alternative fuel vehicles to the fleet of Lotus Rental Cars, we most determine if alternative fuel vehicles are actually a feasible choice. To do this we must first have an understanding of alternative fuel vehicles. Through our research, we have discovered that there are a growing number of alternative fuel vehicles on the road today. Alternative fuel vehicles are defined as any vehicle that can operate on a fuel or power source other than diesel or gasoline. These vehicles come in many different forms, from small commuter cars to larger commercial vehicles. The use of these alternative fuel sources greatly reduces out countries dependency on foreign oil and reduces air pollution caused by CO2 emissions (Gable & Gable, 2009).…
In this article “Why the Gasoline Engine Isn’t Going Away Any Time Soon,” Joseph B. White states that alternative energy cars could be the start of a revolution in the automaker world, however, complications interfere with the outcome. Although the author suggests different ideas on alternative vehicles, he contradicts himself numerous times while also lacking credibility of any sources.…
The need to redesign car engines (to counter ethanol-fuel problems like rise in exhaust gas temp, increased carbon despites on pistons, corrosion of metallic parts etc) is expensive.…

Automotive Builders, Inc. (ABI) is a company that consistently changed its production lines and strategic goals relative to the needs of the times, starting out producing diesel engine parts for tractors in the 1940’s, switching over to the production of parts for military vehicles during World War II, and then, after the war, settling into its current placement in both the automobile and tractor industry. Due to the downturn in the economy and stiff and superior competition in both quality and price rising up from the Japanese who had recently entered into the industry, ABI is trying to find productive and innovative ways to improve sales and guarantee placement as the number one company in its market. The preferred modification addressed in the proposal would be to add new pistons to the 6-cylinder engines making the engines more powerful. The company recently changed its strategic goals and management is using these goals to help guide the decisions being made within the company. ABI corporate employee, Jim Wickes, reviews the details of the proposal of the Stanhope project, weighing the benefits and risks of the company taking it on before presenting it to the executive vice president of the company for final decision on whether or not to implement it.…
Imagining the modern American society without the internal combustion engine is like thinking of the United States without the Eastern Interconnection Power Grid. Modern Transportation is such a vital part of life in Western civilizations that there is no way to live without it. First world societies have glorified the use of fossil fuels and combustion engines which emit greenhouse gasses into the Earth’s atmosphere. In addition to the high amount of greenhouse gas emissions, humans are using up fossil fuels at an alarming rate. It is pivotal that humans find a to achieve sustainable, zero emission transportation. Convincing a population to switch over to zero emission transportation will be a challenge on many levels. Transferring from conventional cars to fully electric cars is a viable and necessary action to help preserve Earth and to achieve sustainable transportation.…

Diesel mechanics have a large effect on most everything that people do. Diesel technology is very similar to gasoline engine systems, yet diesel is not quite as popular. These mechanics repair the engines in many vehicles and machines that help keep people’s lives comfortable and get the products that desire to the places that they shop. Most people do not even know what diesel mechanics do; some duties and training are similar to gasoline engine mechanics, but some differences apply in training and technique. Their working conditions vary depending on their place of employment, but the future of diesel mechanics is bright. Diesel mechanics train extensively to efficiently and thoroughly repair the complex systems in various types of diesel…
With the rise in global warming and increasing pollution levels, it is becoming essential to find a viable alternative to the internal combustion engine petrol powered car.…
This world has prospered with gasoline cars since the late eighteen hundreds and nineteen hundreds. In fact, the world we live in today cannot stand without the benefits of gasoline-powered vehicular travel. Since the modernization of travel, the public can drive cars anywhere, including other countries, cities, streets, houses, or even backyards. The mass want of private automobiles has led to more drivers, then a huge amount of pollution, and then that familiar phrase: Global Warming. This is why we need a new alternative to the combustion engine, and there are very many ways to achieve this including plug-in cars and pure…
