Businesses and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs): in addition to allocating funds for research and development, quality assurance, and other key environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting procedures, you’ll need to budget for LDAR. “L what?” Yup, LDAR: leak detection and repair programs. LDAR refers to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations designed to help decrease… Read more »
Vehicle owners and fleet operators: do you know how your vehicle’s ventilation systems affect your vehicle’s emissions output? More specifically, have you checked on your positive crankcase ventilation system (PCV) as of late? Positive crankcase ventilation system: we know it’s a mouthful. And we get that a PCV system is likely one of the last… Read more »
Real talk: car talk can be confusing. Whether you’re trying to understand the long acronyms or cryptic onboard diagnostics of your dashboard for emissions reporting for environmental, social, and governance (ESG), understanding ICE and EV acronyms can be a challenge. If you’re trying to find your way out of the hole of vehicle acronyms, you’ve… Read more »
