As for the recent PM regulations, a diesel particulate filter (DPF) has been one of the important aftertreatment technologies. Although the square cell structure of DPF is a generally worldwide standard, several cell designs have been proposed to reduce the pressure loss due to the soot loading...

The recent development to control the emissions of large diesel engines has provided opportunities for heat-driven cooling methods in vehicles. An adsorption air conditioning system is therefore proposed in this work for heavy-duty truck application. This system is powered by engine waste heat...

We explore the design of self-financing tax-subsidy schemes to solve hold-up problems in environmental regulation. The announcement of the tax rate seems to be preferable to solve hold-up problems with respect to the investment in environmental R&D. In contrast, only the announcement of the...

We consider the application of self-financing tax/subsidy mechanisms in environmental regulation and explore the question whether these mechanisms yield strong investment incentives in a market with many firms under Cournot competition. It turns out that the tax/subsidy mechanism with the...
