The Ricardo-led Advanced Diesel Electric Powertrain (ADEPT) project will apply 48V “intelligent electrification” concepts, mild hybridization and waste heat recovery in a Ford Focus diesel demonstrator. It is capable of operating in exhaust temperatures up to 850 °C, at speeds up to 60,000 rpm and delivering a peak power of 2 kW (@12V).

million grant to develop and to demonstrate a new ultra fuel efficient vehicle (UFEV) vehicle concept. Due to the lower exhaust enthalpy of lower temperature engines using PPCI, it is difficult to produce intake boost with acceptable boost system parasitis. Earlier post.) These were two main consideration in base engine design.

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. The torque response of these future VTES equipped vehicles will be equivalent to the best mass market vehicles on the road today. —Guy Morris.

The extreme valve temperatures experienced on today’s highly boosted downsized engines can lead to reduced valve fatigue life and critical valve guide and stem seal temperatures, resulting in the need for expensive valve steel alloys. —Gian Maria Olivetti, Chief Technology Officer, Federal-Mogul Powertrain.

Since the pistons cyclically expose or occlude the exhaust and intake ports, there is no valve train. Because the intake and exhaust ports are at the opposite ends of the cylinder, opposed-piston engines have efficient, uniflow scavenging. Scavenging continues until a 230° crank angle, at which time the exhaust ports close.

Automotive supplier KSPG Automotive (formerly Kolbenschmidt Pierburg), a subsidiary of Rheinmetall AG, and FEV have jointly developed a concept for a compact, 30 kW range extender for battery-electric vehicles. The automobile can thus be delivered with or without a range extender and allows for a modular design concept.

Nevertheless, with many fewer observations and the fact that DI engines are just beginning to enter the market, more tests are needed for DI-engine vehicles on low blends. In general, carburetor-engine vehicles appear to be able to better take advantage of low blends than FI-engine vehicles while DI- engine vehicles do not seem to benefit.
