Rolls-Royce supplying two mtu gas engines for first LNG-hybrid tugboat

Green Car Congress

The main propulsion system of the Sembcorp hybrid tugboat comprises twin 16-cyclinder mtu Series 4000 gas units which will provide a combined total power of 2984 kW at 1600 rpm. Without exhaust gas aftertreatment, they emit no sulfur oxides and only very small quantities of nitrogen oxide, and particulate mass is below the verification limit.

Toyota launches Aqua compact hybrid in Japan; targeting 12,000 units per month in sales

Green Car Congress

A cooled Exhaust-Gas Recirculation (EGR) system improves efficiency in the high-expansion-ratio Atkinson cycle engine. Also contributing to increased engine efficiency is a battery-powered water pump, a friction-reducing beltless design and precise coolant-water-flow volume control. Maximum motor torque. Combined maximum output.

More Details on the Lexus CT 200h Hybrid Powertrain; 42 mpg US Combined

Green Car Congress

Combined with a cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system, the adoption of the Atkinson Cycle offers significant gains in fuel efficiency and the reduction of emissions. This creates a high expansion ratio for less compression, reducing intake and exhaust energy losses and converting combustion energy to engine power more effectively.
