The strategy considers three main types of powertrains: Combustion engines burning alternativefuels such as liquid biofuels and gaseous fuels (including LPG, CNG and biogas). Electric vehicle technology. Infrastructure. The global car fleet is predicted to grow from 800 million to 1.6 billion vehicles by 2030.
This is due to raw, externally premixed fresh charge comprising air, fuel and lube oil being short-circuited into the exhaust during the scavenging process. The lost available energy also results in poor off-design point fuel efficiency. They suggested that the cause of this is increasing charge stratification.
RCCI uses in-cylinder fuel blending with at least two fuels of different reactivity and multiple injections to control in-cylinder fuel reactivity to optimize combustion phasing, duration and magnitude. RCCI results in efficient, premixed-charge combustion with near zero levels of NO x and soot. AlternativeFuels.
(The stringency of the PM standard was a topic of some discussion during the Board meeting, bute the Board chose to run with the regulation as proposed by staff, and monitor and review the level (and compliance technologies), especially given data anticipated from current European efforts to regulate particle number instead of mass.).
Our take, after seeing it up close and getting some time behind the wheel: The price, size, driving range, charging speed, performance and Cadillac look, touch and feel will be very appealing to first-time premium small SUV buyers or those looking to move up a class. Story by John Faulkner.
