liter i-DTEC engine in the new Civic will deliver CO 2 emissions of 95 g/km, according to Honda Motor Europe’s President, Manabu Nishimae, in his presentation at the Geneva Motor Show. By downsizing from the outgoing 2.2L Click to enlarge. Honda’s new 1.6-liter i-DTEC introduced in September 2011 at the Frankfurt show.
This CO 2 level is comparable to that emitted by equivalent sized full hybrid vehicles, yet avoids their need for high voltage and the significant impact a hybrid’s large batteries and traction motors have on overall vehicle cost, mass and packaging. Axial Flux motors and generators are characterized by very high torque and power density.
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. In addition, vehicle manufacturers increasingly use electric motors to complement conventional combustion engines in cars.

The start/stop system as standard for all engine variants. Optimized belt drive with decoupler.
In a paper presented at the 2019 Vienna Motor Symposium this week, Delphi Technologies will unveil a new 500+ bar GDi system that can reduce particulate emissions by up to 50% compared to state-of-the-art 350 bar system without expensive engine design modifications. Delphi 500+ bar GDi pump. Delphi 500+ bar GDi injector. —Walter Piock.
The T-Hybrid (based on a Kia Optima) ( earlier post ) and the ADEPT (based on a Ford Focus) ( earlier post ) both utilize an advanced 48V lead-carbon battery system with bolt-on electrical components that allow for significant engine-downsizing without loss in performance. liter engine the performance of a 1.8
A study by a team from Ford Motor Company and AVL has concluded that a mid-level ethanol blend—greater than E20 but less than E40—appears to be attractive as a long-term future fuel for the US for use in engines optimized for the higher octane blend. Downsizing/downspeeding. Anderson, J. and Stein, R.,
In the HyBoost project, Ricardo, Ford Motor Company, Control Power Technologies (CPT) and the European Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium (EALABC) demonstrated a concept they termed “intelligent electrification”. —Ricardo chief technology and innovation officer Professor Neville Jackson.
CAR used this study to estimate the likely cost and price impact on new motor vehicles for three different powertrain pathways: spark-ignited; compression-ignited; and electrification. real world fuel economy”); 3% Decrease in CO2 : The. real world fuel economy”); 4% Decrease in CO2: The.

Our customers are downsizing their engines to meet stringent CO2 requirements. Delphi says that the common rail system will suit future generations of downsized engines in a range of vehicle classes. This combination allows for just 87 g/km of CO 2 emissions.
Surround it with electric motors to create the most powerful road car on the market. No doubt synthetic fuels or biofuels will eventually allow such engines to have the effect of running CO2 neutral. Electric motors, on the other hand, are usually upwards of 90 percent efficient. litre V12.
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.
At the upcoming 79 th International Motor Show in Geneva, France-based MCE-5 Development will showcase its first vehicle application (a Peugeot 407) of a prototype 1.5-liter This constitutes a strong response to the durability problem of highly downsized high-loaded engines. VCRi engine with two-stage turbocharger. Click to enlarge.
The switched reluctance (SR) motor-based SpeedStart and TIGERS technology are being incorporated into the recently announced Advanced Diesel Electric Powertrain project known as ADEPT. 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.
At the IAA in Frankfurt, Hyundai Motor is showcasing two new turbocharged gasoline direct injected (T-GDI) engines. Hyundai Motor’s new downsized 1.0 Honeywell unveiled its annual survey in advance of the Frankfurt International Motor Show (IAA). T-GDI and 1.4
The new Ford B-Max-set to debut at next month’s Geneva Motor Show-is to offer emissions from as low as 104g/km CO2, thanks to the use of efficient new engines. Ford say its downsized and optimised engines will mean that its new compact family vehicle will will deliver best in class fuel economy for both in [.].
Vauxhall will debut an all-new Astra at the Frankfurt Motor Show on September 15, with a highly competitive line-up of petrol and diesel engines, alll boasting reductions in CO2 over almost all equivalent models in the current Astra range. litre unit emitting just 129g/km of CO2, and two 1.6-litre litre models and the 1.3-litre
Now at the Frankfurt Motor Show Ford has announced a new family of petrol engines offering the opportunity to down size engine capacity without suffering a reduction in performance. In fact, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are reduced by up to 20 per cent compared to a conventional petrol engine. “With the 2.0-litre
According to Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMIF) chairman Paul Williams, the announcement could offer a significant boost to new car sales. Similar views were shared by our own editor Faye Sunderland who criticised the Government’s failure to place CO2 caps on the scheme.
Another innovation is headed to the Frankfurt Motor Show next week, where Lotus Engineering will unveil its range extender engine. The engine is attached to an electricity generator and provides an efficient source of energy to power an electric motor directly or charge the vehicle’s battery.
