This investment is part of our ongoing strategy to put the UK at the forefront of low carbon vehicle technology. The work will help to accelerate the reduction of carbon emissions and deliver mass-market low carbon road vehicles within 5 to 15 years. Other projects include: TSB Low-Carbon Vehicle Technology Awards.
Cummins has developed an E-85-specific engine and powertrain that reduce carbon dioxide emissions by as much as 80% compared with a baseline gasoline-powered medium-duty truck. The ETHOS 2.8L demo truck. Click to enlarge. as a means to increase fuel efficiency, and developing the integrated start/stop system. Earlier post.)
This first report (Phase I) examines only the impact of improving the efficiency of fossil-fueled vehicles, in which efficiency gains are delivered by the improvement of the internal combustion engine vehicle, including lightweighting, engine downsizing and hybridization. —“An Economic Assessment of Low Carbon Vehicles”.
This crucial difference means the technology is perfectly suited to maintaining vehicle performance and driveability—widely recognized as a critical marketing issue for any car maker contemplating radical engine downsizing. Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership Technology Challenge. They have also designed a 100 mpg UK (83 mpg US, 2.8
This is to be achieved through the synergistic application of an extremely downsized gasoline engine coupled with electrified boosting and exhaust gas energy recovery; micro-hybrid functionality with stop/start, torque assist and regenerative braking; and a novel energy storage technology. The vehicle is to offer the performance of a 2.0
The combustion of 1 liter of diesel fuel produces approximately 11% more energy than gasoline fuel, but the diesel fuel also releases approximately 11% more CO2 due to its higher carbon content. —The ICCT.
In terms of carbon monoxide (CO) emissions during the operation of the vehicle, a significant improvement was achieved over the 2007 predecessor. Emissions of sulfur dioxide are on a par with those of the preceding model. The start/stop system as standard for all engine variants.
Current mild-hybrid vehicle projects, in partnership with Ford and Hyundai/Kia, that utilize advanced 48V lead-carbon batteries, can reduce CO 2 emissions by 15-20%, according to the latest data from the Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium (ALABC), presented at the Advanced Automotive Battery Conference (25-28 January, Mainz).
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. The cO 2 emission factor was calculated assuming a fuel carbon content of 8887 g/gallon. mpg (10.99
Given the properties of the fuel blend, improved fuel efficiencies can be generated by several approaches, including downsizing/downspeeding; increased compression ratio; reduced enrichment; and the leveraging of improved efficiency at part load. Downsizing/downspeeding. Volumetric fuel economy. Anderson, J. and Stein, R.,
At 48 volts, a VTES electric supercharger will transform 7kW of battery power into a highly boosted charge of air for downsized gasoline and diesel engines. There will be no torque deficit or other tradeoffs from essential engine downsizing and higher gearing, which now dominates the development of internal combustion engines.
This combined combined aggressive 50% downsizing of the engine with an electric supercharger for transient low-speed performance and a 12+X volt micro-hybrid stop-start and energy recuperation systems. ADEPT will also use a carbon-enhanced capacitive lead-acid battery, offering a high power-to-weight ratio.
Renault’s ongoing downsizing strategy is aimed at reducing the cubic capacity of its engines in order to bring down fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions, without detracting from performance. The downsizing process involved shortening the piston stroke by reducing the size of the crank pin and conrod assembly. Select Engines.
As a reduced cost concept, it aims to make more intelligent use of electrical energy to achieve the desired reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. There is a continual drive within the auto industry for low carbon vehicle technologies. SpeedStart.
A new generation of low voltage micro-hybrid technologies in vehicles could allow existing engine technology and transmission combinations to be downsized and support significant reductions in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Controlled Power Technologies and AVL have been working [.].
This should include recognition of all alternative fuel pathways and all CO 2 abatement measures available, including application of carbon capture and storage (CCS). The main guidelines for this strategy are: Energy efficiency policies in the end-use transport sectors allow energy savings and reduction of CO2 emissions.
As part of its efforts to go green, Volkswagen is placing a clear emphasis on downsizing as it proved with two new engines at the 30 th Vienna Engine Symposium. Both engines show how Volkswagen reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and fuel consumption. It meets the EU5 exhaust emission standard.
A new project has set the ambitious goal of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 30-40 per cent. It hopes to produce a car that offers the performance of a 2.0litre model while keeping CO2 emissions below 100g/km.
However, there are also significant efficiency gains through the downsizing. Its fuel consumption is 30mpg and its emissions are 185g/km of carbon dioxide (CO2). Thanks to a new scavenging strategy the drive torque is comparable to one of an aspirated V6 engine which is almost twice its displacement.
The MultiAir system, which was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show last year, is seen as a versatile technology that can be applied to all petrol engines.
Rapid downsizing, improved fuel economy and simplification of the company’s engine line-up – they are the key elements of Chrysler’s new powertrain strategy. Its new V6 family will replace all existing V6 engines from 2.7-4.0litres 4.0litres with the first application to be the Jeep Cherokee in mid 2010.
Thanks to its high efficiency and low mass it will be possible to downsize expensive batteries while maintaining efficiency and range, according to Lotus. It features an innovative architecture that consists of an aluminium monoblock construction that reduces the engine mass and offers improved emissions and durability.
TFSI: Part of Audi’s philosophy in addressing efficiency is downsizing and so it’s no surprise to see a new turbocharged petrol direct injection 1.2 Both versions can reach 118mph and have an average fuel economy of 42.8mpg while emitting 127g/km of carbon dioxide (CO2).
What are we really doing and how big of a carbon footprint are we going to leave with this?" The resulting fuel efficiency improvements mean lower CO2 emissions and less fossil fuel consumption and, therefore, less pollution. We hope Ford will, and then move ahead! "Its Its still up in the air, thats why were doing all this research.
Robert O Grady suggests that the standards, which are designed to address climate change and reduce dependence on imported energy, ignore the criteria air pollutants currently regulated under the Clean Air Act such as smog, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and lead.

utilizing these ideas and instructions in an attempting to enhance national security, reduce gas consumption, vehicle "emissions", your carbon footprint, or smog, you do so at your own risk & peril. Warranty: In performing some of these modifications you may void your warranty with the vehicles manufacturer.
Vehicles with larger footprints are allowed to generate more CO2 than vehicles with smaller footprints. The framework is deliberately designed to prevent downsizing , even though manufacturing smaller vehicles is the best strategy for reducing CO2 emissions. The EPA’s rule change would delay their expiration for two years.
