SCR coated on filter (SCR-F) allows for close coupling of an SCR (selective catalytic reduction) function for fast light off. Michael Ruth (2014) “ATP-LD; Cummins Next Generation Tier 2 Bin 2 Diesel Engine” DOE 2014 Annual Merit Review, Project ACE061. Earlier post.). Exhaust system configuration. Weigert, E.,
2014 Sprinter. This downsizing enables lower fuel consumption, accompanied by low emissions and optimum weight. The camera system also responds to road lighting by deactivating high beam automatically— when passing through built-up areas, for example. Click to enlarge. The familiar V6 diesel is available as an option.
The automotive turbocharging industry will generate $12 billion in revenue by equipping 49 million vehicles with turbochargers annually by 2019, according to Honeywell Turbo Technologies’ 2014 Global Turbo Forecast. In addition to improving fuel efficiency, downsized turbocharged engines also reduce harmful exhaust emissions.
of total worldwide light-duty vehicle sales by 2023, or about 2.5 Of note are fuel efficiency advances made to conventional internal combustion engines (ICEs) through stop-start technologies, the use of lightweight materials for body panels and chassis, engine downsizing, and growing interest in diesel. million units. Source: Navigant.
will showcase the MILA Blue vehicle concept at the Geneva Motor Show 2014. Downsizing—leveraging smaller, lighter components while at the same time maintaining function and performance. Due to the vehicle''s comparatively light weight, crawling along in stop-and-go traffic and cruising up to 30 km/h (18.6 Click to enlarge.
This trend of increasing demand for higher octane gasoline is likely driven by changes in fuel requirements for light-duty vehicles (LDV) in response to increasing fuel economy standards, which will have widespread implications for future gasoline markets, according to EIA analysts. of new gasoline-fueled LDV sales. of the market.
The engine should yield fuel efficiency gains of more than 50% compared to a downsized, turbo-charged gasoline direct injection engine, while reducing the overall cost of the powertrain system, said Fabien Redon, Vice President, Technology Development at Achates Power. Earlier post.) Earlier post.). Earlier post.). Fabien Redon. Kalebjian, C.,
Ricardo will display the first functional integration prototype of the Advanced Diesel Electric Powertrain (ADEPT) collaborative research project ( earlier post ) in public for the first time this week at the Low Carbon Vehicle Event (LCV 2014) in the UK. 48V Diesel Fuel Efficiency'
quadrillion Btu in 2014 to 101.7 quadrillion Btu projected to be consumed in 2014. Brazil, Russia, India, and China (the BRIC nations) will represent the largest increases, as the percentage of global road transportation energy consumed by these nations is forecast to grow from 20% in 2014 to 36% in 2035. Click to enlarge.
To address this request, the NRC formed the Committee on the Assessment of Technologies for Improving Light-Duty Vehicle Fuel Economy. Spark-ignition (SI) engines will continue to be the primary source of propulsion for light-duty vehicles in the United States over the time frame of the report (next 15 years).
Compliance with future emissions standards such as Euro 6b (from 9/2014) and Euro 6c (from 9/2017) will call for further improvements in engine combustion processes. Static flow range for the XL3 is up to 20 g/s (at 100 bar at 70 °C); the XL2 had a maximum flow of up to 17 g/s.
As a point of comparison, the US EPA’s proposed national CO 2 emissions standards for light-duty vehicles under section 202 (a) of the Clean Air Act would require these vehicles to meet an estimated combined average emissions level of 250 grams/mile of CO 2 —155.26 In 2014, any weight increase in new cars will be studied.
GMZ Energy and its partners are on track to deliver a 1 kW thermoelectric generator (TEG) for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle as well as to design and to integrate a light-duty vehicle TEG into a Honda Accord as part of a DOE-funded project. down-speeding, downsized engine, etc.), Click to enlarge.
Showcased at the Consumer Electronics Show in January in Las Vegas ( earlier post ), the FCV Concept, which presages the introduction of the series-production vehicle, made its European debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. The output power is more than 100kW, despite significant unit downsizing. Toyota’s view of hydrogen.
In a presentation at the SAE 2014 High Efficiency IC Engine Symposium and then in a paper given at SAE 2014 World Congress, Mark Sellnau, Engineering Manager, Delphi Advanced Powertrain, reported that Brake Specific Fuel Consumption for the 1.8L 2014-01-1300. Engines 7(2) doi: 10.4271/2014-01-1300. —Sellnau et al.
The more efficient combustion engine technologies, with their enabling of downsizing, come in compatibly with hybridization, with hybridization and electrification playing a larger role over time. Broadly, these can be described as: EcoBoost–Next Generation (CY 2014-2016). Planning background. ” First-generation EcoBoost.
Pinnacle Engines, initially targeting lower power applications (such as tuk tuks and scooters) in developing markets in its commercialization strategy, has signed a licensing and joint development agreement with a major, as yet unnamed, Asian vehicle OEM, with products now expected to be available in early 2014.
to eliminate turbo lag—in support of aggressive engine downsizing. The motor industry is now seeking to bring the highest efficiency, lowest cost turbo systems into its supply chain and it is forecast that by 2014 around 75% of all European light vehicles will be boosted by turbo technology.
Although real-world fuel economy improvements from GDI technology alone are close to 1.5%, they can reach 8% by downsizing and turbocharging the engine, which can be achieved on GDI engines without loss of power compared to PFI engines. Finally, we analyze the potential climate effects of switching a PFI to a GDI fleet. —Saliba et al.
The total technology cost increment would be between €1,000 and €2,150 [(2014€)], and the fuel cost savings would be on the order of €450 per year. A new vehicle type-approval test procedure for the EU, the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), will likely reduce that gap beginning in 2017. Earlier post.).
The EU has already set a standard for 6 × 10 12 number/km limits between 2014 and 2017, tightening to 6 × 10 11 number/km.). Homogeneous GDI provides fuel efficiency benefits from charge air cooling, more facile turbocharging, and the downsizing that these permit. Fuel injectors were side-mounted. gasoline blend.
The transportation sector was responsible for over 7 million tons of NO x emissions in the US in 2014, with 50% of this sector’s NO x attributed to heavy-duty on- and off-road vehicles and equipment. This has resulted in higher catalyst loading per volume of substrate and led to downsizing of systems from those available in 2010.
The new high-powered TDCi diesel engine follows the downsizing trend we’ve led with our EcoBoost petrol technology. liter EcoBoost engine was in 2014 named International Engine of the Year for a third time in a row, and will join the Mondeo engine line-up in early 2015 with 125 PS (92 kW) and CO 2 emissions of 119 g/km.
The upside of gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines is widely seen as being improved fuel economy coupled with an increase in specific power (especially with turbocharging), enabling significant downsizing. l/100 km)—the average fuel economy of the in-use United States light-duty fleet in 2014.

On the diesel side—now available solely as BlueTEC units with SCR aftertreatment technology) , the focus is on downsizing and the new version of the V6 CDI engine. With AdBlue emission control technology, both diesel models meet the EU6 standard slated for introduction in 2014. BlueTEC diesel units. Earlier post.) Aerodynamics.
If in addition to normal electric use in homes such as lights and appliances, we charge the PHEV cars at 2 kW at the appropriate times, we could increase the utility factor of the already-installed wires in homes to more than 25%, still leaving plenty of safety margin and capacity. Or their UF=10% to 15%.
