The unit features a six-hole GDI injector, pressured to a higher-than-average 200 bar, securing a clean combustion and improving fuel economy and emissions to fulfill Euro 6c emission standards, three years ahead of their introduction in 2017. As well as being lighter and smaller, it features greater efficiency and power.
The 2017 model of the Porsche 919 Hybrid deploys a range of new innovations, particularly in the vehicle’s aerodynamics, the chassis and the combustion engine. Team Principal Andreas Seidl, who continues to serve as acting technical director, said that for the 2017 season, 60 to 70 percent of the vehicle is newly developed.
Kia unveiled three major hybrid offerings at the Chicago Auto Show: the 2017 Niro Hybrid Utility Vehicle; the new Optima Hybrid; and the new Optima Plug-in Hybrid. Because the high-voltage battery is both power and energy dense, engineers were able to use the downsized gasoline engine to maximize fuel economy and reduce emissions.
This will be done with a broad range of efficiency-enhancing technologies, including the turbocharging of downsized engines. Only with turbochargers can engines be downsized, he said, which can potentially offer a 7-8% percent fuel saving. Automating the manual transmission, for example with the eClutch. Rolf Bulander.
A downsized gasoline engine is one of the proven technologies that improves engine thermal efficiency and thus reduces automotive fleet CO 2 emissions, by as much as 25%. A downsized gasoline engine is one of the proven technologies that improves engine thermal efficiency and thus reduces automotive fleet CO 2 emissions, by as much as 25%.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitrated PAHs were quantified in both the vapor and particle phases of the PM, with the GPF-equipped vehicles practically eliminating most of these species in the exhaust. liter downsized turbocharged centrally-mounted direct injection engine. The first was equipped with a 2.0-liter
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. —Maricq et al. Credit: ACS, Maricq et al. Click to enlarge.
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. The further downsized next-generation technologies can be very synergistic within hybrid applications. Planning background.
The product is currently in development, with validation testing set to begin in November 2016 and prototypes available for customer trials from January 2017. The car’s downsized 1.2 Aeristech’s eSupercharger technology has been publicly validated and exhibited in a prototype vehicle by MAHLE Powertrain UK.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) has announced the 2017 Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) Phase I Release 2 topics , including three subtopics focused on hydrogen and fuel cell technologies.
Projects selected through this solicitation will complement DOE’s Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO) research started in FY 2017. will address natural gas engine emissions and efficiency improvements by developing a natural gas specific combustion design utilizing optimized in-cylinder charge motion and cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR).
Season 2017 Porsche LMP team. Especially in regard to battery technology, downsizing, efficiency improvements with the turbocharged petrol engine and, in particular, for energy recovery systems. Click to enlarge. At the press of a button, the two energy recovery systems mobilize a boost of an extra 400 hp (294 kW). Earlier post.).
Federal-Mogul Powertrain will debut new materials for valve seats and guides with improved thermal conductivity at the 2017 IAA Show in Frankfurt, Germany next month. For exhaust valve head alloys, every 20°C reduction in temperature negates the need for an upgrade to the next, more expensive alloy specification.
The EU goal is to introduce the WLTP by 2017 if possible and no later than 2020 to coincide with the 95 g/km requirement. This means that in addition the power demand is more difficult to achieve with engine downsizing and transmission down-speeding alone. the Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedures (WLTP). The conference.
The very high octane rating and resulting high resistance to knock is promising for small, supercharged, downsized SI engines. Researchers will also examine mixture formation, ignition, and exhaust-gas treatment and develop specific solutions. The project started in January 2015 and will run until the end of 2017. million (US$4.3
A key part of the overall efficiency gain is the downsized 11-liter Volvo engine, featuring advanced fuel injection, cooling, oil and turbo-charging systems, as well as new “wave” pistons and other improvements. This new design added “wave” bumps on the side of the piston bowl, which allows the fuel to burn more cleanly.). for the D13.
The engine features technologies such as twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT); a compact, low-inertia turbo that spins at 248,000rpm; direct fuel injection; an aluminium cylinder head with integrated exhaust manifold; low friction piston coatings; low tension piston rings; low friction crank seals; and a cambelt-in-oil design.
Furthermore, OLEA T222 technologies and feature set address other applications; it can also serve as a controller for battery management systems (BMS), exhaust or selective catalytic reduction systems (SCR), or even conventional internal combustion engines. A starter kit will soon be announced to complete the offer with AUTOSAR 4.2
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. Organic gas emissions were the most sensitive to cold-start compared to the other pollutants tested.
The aftertreatment program within the 21CTP should be continued, and DOE should continue to support the activities of the Cross-cut Lean Exhaust Emissions Reductions Simulations (CLEERS) program that interface with the activities of the aftertreatment technical community at large. Recommendation 3-7. HYBRID VEHICLES. Recommendation 4-3.
However, although a CO 2 target of 70 g/km could be met without significant deployment of electric vehicles, the study found that exhausting all the potential gains from combustion engine technology improvements before transitioning to electric drive would be a relatively costly approach for vehicle manufacturers. Earlier post.).
The Freightliner SuperTruck uses a downsized and downsped 10.7-liter The Freightliner SuperTruck features a low-back-pressure, next-generation aftertreatment system that efficiently removes NO x from the exhaust stream. The aftertreatment system features additional insulation to retain maximum heat energy in the exhaust.
This annual sales estimate, combining both passenger and commercial vehicles, would add more than 232 million turbocharged vehicles globally between 2017 and 2021—an increase of 35% from today. Regional highlights include: In North America, more engine downsizing is expected. The current average engine size is a 3.0-liter
Engine downsizing and down-speeding are well suited to take advantage of higher-octane fuels because these engines encounter the knock limit more frequently. Operation under boosted conditions is essential to Co-Optima’s Thrust I effort to maintain acceptable power density for downsized and downsped SI engines.
Thrust 1 builds on the significant amount of work carried out over the past several decades, focused on building advanced boosted, downsized, and downspeeded spark ignition engines. Thrust 2, said Wagner, is facing a decision point in March 2017. So far, we have been very focused on Thrust 1. Earlier post.)
Panned for its noise and sluggish performance, the diesel Celerio was discontinued in 2017. After all, this four-cylinder engine was essentially two Celerio diesel units forged together and downsized to 1.5 As the name suggests, an integrated exhaust manifold is a part of the cylinder head, not a separate bolt-on piece.
