“…This enables the vehicle to be steered comfortably, which is necessary especially in the cases when the wheel returns to a straight direction. There is a console (7) rigidly mounted to the shaft of the great toothed wheel (6). Therefore, during turning the wheel, a rotation of the console takes place, but with a modified sense of rotation.…”

“…Light materials, such as aluminium and its alloys, are more and more frequently implemented in the vehicle production nowadays. This enables a reduction in the total weight of the vehicle, which is directly connected with the fuel consumption and production of CO 2 [6]. The mechanical properties of the aluminium alloys are affected by their chemical composition, technological production methods or methods of processing [7,8].…”

“…Many road transport vehicles with fossil fuel engines have a negative impact on the environment, increasing fuel prices, and other largely environmental aspects [6,[22][23][24], and thus it is necessary to create solutions that are capable of eliminating such deficiencies to the greatest extent possible. Four-wheeled vehicles tend to be designed for four or five passengers and their luggage.…”

Nowadays the automotive industry is mainly focused on competition, and this fact forces vehicle producers to constantly look for improvements in the areas of quality and reliability. Life-span, flawless operation, and safety are directly interconnected. Therefore, much attention and resources are spent on research factors that affect the stated properties. Significant capital is invested in the optimization of the constructional solutions and innovative material applications related to the safety and durability of the constructions. This paper presents the results obtained while developing a new ecological three-wheeled vehicle. The main research areas were focused on replacing the original material with a light aluminum alloy, while achieving a substantial improvement in drivability for the three-wheeled vehicle by implementing a modified front wheel steering system. The submitted research achieved a weight reduction of the frame by 40 kg by applying light material substitution (EN AW 6063.T66), which will naturally have a positive impact on the range of the designed electric vehicle; furthermore, we implemented an innovative steering mechanism optimized during the experimental operations.

“…Preparing a true reliable research, which presents the results of the emission of harmful substances, demands the input of certain determinants; fuel quality, climate conditions, vehicle fleet and data on the activities of vehicles [17]. CO2 emissions decrease when the quality level of road infrastructure increases, a good-consistent road segment was observed to have a lower emission rate of 20-30% than a poor-consistent one [18,19,20,21].…”

This paper discusses the environmental characteristics of assets of the public transport systems in Górnośląsko-Dąbrowska Metropolis. The public transport is served by a number of companies. This poses the problem of integrating their behaviour in a coherent manner for environment protection. The Metropolis includes regions highly populated with good road networks as well as small localities which generates small transport demands. The transport potential is assessed and categorised in relation to its impact on the environment. The volume of emission of pollutants and the severity of their presence in the environment are summarised. Conditions of the functioning of the constituents of the systems were analysed, accounting for their contribution to pollution as well as health hazards cases.

“…The actual fuel consumption, and thus its emission of pollutants into the atmosphere while driven on the road, depends to a large extent on individual driving behavior [49,50], route characteristics [51], traffic flow [52], vehicle load, and external circumstances [53,54], such as temperature, air resistance, and acceleration [55,56]. Analyses of the results of measurements and tests presented in the literature allow the assessment of the impact of the transported cargo on the road emission parameters [57,58].…”

Toxicity of Exhaust Fumes (CO, NOx) of the Compression-Ignition (Diesel) Engine with the Use of Simulation

Nowadays more and more emphasis is placed on the protection of the natural environment. Scientists notice that global warming is associated with an increase of carbon dioxide emissions, which results inter alia from the combustion of gasoline, oil, and coal. To reduce the problem of pollution from transport, the EU is introducing increasingly stringent emission standards which should correspond to sustainable conditions of the environment during the operation of motor vehicles. The emissivity value of substances, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), as well as solid particles, was determined. The aim of this paper was to examine, by means of simulation in the Scilab program, the exhaust emissions generated by the 1.3 MultiJet Fiat Panda diesel engine, and in particular, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides (verified on the basis of laboratory tests). The Fiat Panda passenger car was selected for the test. The fuels supplied to the tested engine were diesel and FAME (fatty acid methyl esters). The Scilab program, which simulated the diesel engine operation, was the tool for analyzing the exhaust toxicity test. The combustion of biodiesel does not necessarily mean a smaller amount of exhaust emissions, as could be concluded on the basis of information contained in the subject literature. The obtained results were compared with the currently valid EURO-6 standard, for which the limit value for CO is 0.5 g/km, and for NOx − 0.08 g/km, and it can be seen that the emission of carbon monoxide did not exceed the standards in any case examined. Unfortunately, when analyzing the total emissions of nitrogen oxides, the situation was completely the opposite and the emissions were exceeded by 20–30%.
