The 21st century brings countless social, economic, environmental, and technological challenges to humanity and, to face them, the United Nations (UN) created the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The auto industry, which is part of the private sector, aims to reach them. In this context, this study aims to evaluate the consumption and emissions of pollutants by using an automatic transmission of the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) type concerning the automatic transmission of the "Planetary" type. This study will be based on the Consumption/Energy Efficiency tables, published annually by INMETRO (National Institute of Metrology, Quality, and Technology) and whose data will be processed and evaluated using the Quik Sense Software. Thus, the work aims to appraise the advantages of vehicles with automatic transmission of the CVT type about fuel consumption, energy efficiency and emissions, in markets such as Brazil, where these vehicles use ethanol or a mixture of gasoline with up to 27 as fuel % Ethanol. This research can contribute to studies of emission control and approval, benefiting the automotive industry in general, government agencies, the environment, the economy, and society, contributing to the UN's SDGs achievement.

We live in complex times in the health, social, political, and energy spheres, and we must be aware of and implement new trends in intelligent social health systems powered by the Internet of Things (IoT). Sustainable development, energy efficiency, and public health are interrelated parameters that can transform a system or an environment for the benefit of people and the planet. The integration of sensors and smart devices should promote energy efficiency and ensure that sustainable development goals are met. This work is carried out according to a mixed approach, with a literature review and an analysis of the impact of the Sustainable Development Goals on the applications of the Internet of Things and smart systems. In the analysis of results, the following questions are answered about these systems and applications: (a) Are IoT applications key to the improvement of people’s health and the environment? (b) Are there research and case studies implemented in cities or territories that demonstrate the effectiveness of IoT applications and their benefits to public health? (c) What sustainable development indicators and objectives can be assessed in the applications and projects analyzed?

Modern integrated powertrains allow great scope for improvements in driveability, emissions and fuel consumption by optimizing the engine speed and load selection to deliver the demanded power. The aim of this study is to assess the exhaust emissions, road performance, road acceleration and fuel consumption of gasoline engine powered vehicle. The proposed emission index and fuel consumption rate are verified through chassis dynamometer tests using the urban part of European drive cycle (ECE-15). A midsize saloon vehicle equipped with an integrated gasoline engine with manual transmission (MT), automatic transmission (AT) and continuously variable transmission (CVT) powertrains. The results indicate that most of the carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and unburned hydrocarbons emission, driveability and fuel consumption rate were improved for the CVT powertrains.

This article explores the impacts of high technology exports on energy consumption, energy intensity, and carbon intensity for a panel of six GCC economies covering a period of 1990 to 2017. For detailed empirical analysis, we employ panel techniques to explore the linkages between high technology exports and energy efficiency in GCC countries. The empirical results demonstrate that high technology exports help to reduce overall energy demand with −0.154% and energy intensity with −0.254% in GCC countries. Notably, we observe that effects on technology exports on carbon intensity are significantly lower in magnitude with −0.010%. Notably, the long empirics are in consistent with achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) of GCC countries (cleaner and affordable energy, environmental awareness, climate change action, etc.). The findings suggest that new and innovative energy conservation policies should be introduced to promote energy efficient equipment’s and technologies for cleaner and greener growth.

Abstract To date, there is a need to improve the energy efficiency of Russian industry, which is due to the main aspects of the state of domestic energy. World experience demonstrates that it is. Among such tools, automated control systems can be distinguished, which allow for accurate and fast monitoring of energy consumption, as a result of which the reliability of accounting becomes higher, energy costs are optimized. Accounting for energy resources is a strategically important task, on which the economy of any country directly depends. Currently, energy occupies a central place in the efforts of the international community to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, which is related to ensuring international energy security. Currently, energy occupies a central place in the efforts of the international community to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, which is related to ensuring international energy security. The strategic guidelines for improving energy efficiency are the directions of development of digitalization mechanisms and optimization of the functioning of environmental policy in the energy sector. Digitalization and automation of production processes is one of the most effective tools for changing the current situation.
