Federal-Mogul Corporation has developed a lightweight, high-strength aluminium piston that enables engine manufacturers to increase the power density and efficiency of boosted, direct injected gasoline engines. The new Advanced Elastoval II piston. Click to enlarge. generation pistons.
Federal-Mogul Corporation has. downsized diesel engines with improved fuel economy and CO 2 emissions. Federal-Mogul's 2D ultrasonic inspection technique enables high performance pistons for diesel downsizing. pistons can retain their leading position in diesel engines for light vehicles for some time to.
Federal-Mogul Corporation has developed a cost-effective new material for valve seat inserts that helps manufacturers meet the durability demands of engine downsizing and alternative or high-octane blended fuels.
The dark grey areas are silicon particles; the light grey areas aluminium. Federal-Mogul Corporation has developed an innovative aluminum piston design that can reliably withstand the mechanical and thermal loads produced by heavily boosted engines, thereby enhancing diesel engine performance and supporting diesel downsizing.
Yesterday, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National High Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) jointly established increasingly stringent greenhouse gas emission standards under the Clean Air Act for 2012 through 2016 model-year vehicles and fuel economy standards under the Corporate Average Fuel Economy program, respectively.
This trend of increasing demand for higher octane gasoline is likely driven by changes in fuel requirements for light-duty vehicles (LDV) in response to increasing fuel economy standards, which will have widespread implications for future gasoline markets, according to EIA analysts.
Even in the BRICs, ICE downsizing has become a big deal. The survey found that most companies are hedging their bets and spreading funding across a wide range of areas, with ICE downsizing and plug-in hybrids expected to receive the greatest investment over the next 5 years. —“14 th Annual Global Automotive Executive Survey”.
In addition to demonstrating better fuel consumption results than current advanced gasoline engines, the Omnivore engine has successfully demonstrated homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) down to extremely light loads. Jamie Turner, Chief Engineer of Powertrain Research at Lotus Engineering. Cooling system.
To address this request, the NRC formed the Committee on the Assessment of Technologies for Improving Light-Duty Vehicle Fuel Economy. Further, the benefits of some technologies are not completely represented in the tests used to estimate corporate average fuel economy (CAFE).
Light duty vehicle fleet by type and average fuel efficiency. Exxon Mobil Corporation’s new The Outlook for Energy: A View to 2040 , released last week, projects that global energy demand in 2040 will be about 30% higher than it was in 2010 as population grows to 9 billion and global GDP doubles.

Toshiba Corporation will expand its line-up of image-recognition processors for automotive applications with the launch of the TMPV760 series. The new IC, with its output stage especially designed for optimal power management of TMP7608XBG, contributes to set downsizing and achieving the low heat operation required for ADAS applications.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Department of Transportation (DOT) formally unveiled their joint proposal to set stronger fuel economy and greenhouse gas pollution standards for Model Year 2017-2025 passenger cars and light trucks. mpg US (5.87 L/100km) in model year 2021, and 49.6 L/100km) in model year 2025.
The output power is more than 100kW, despite significant unit downsizing. With its proprietary, small, light-weight FC Stack and two 70 MPa high-pressure hydrogen tanks placed beneath the specially designed body, the Toyota FCV Concept can accommodate up to four occupants. Toyota’s view of hydrogen.
When presented with a list of technologies analyzed within a National Academies of Science report ( earlier post ) that might be used to meet fuel-efficiency standards, suppliers picked turbocharging and engine downsizing, along with higher-speed automatic transmissions, as the most critical.
American consumers are strongly influenced by fuel efficiency and the price of gas when purchasing a vehicle, according to a new survey conducted by the Opinion Research Corporation on behalf of Johnson Controls. The next big technology in the US is start-stop, with an increase in fuel efficiency of up to 5%, she suggested.
On 15 Sep, NHTSA and the US EPA proposed a joint rulemaking on fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions for light duty vehicles: an average new car 34.1 Three of the NHTSA scenarios for penetration of technologies for light trucks for MY 2016. Data: Preliminary Regulatory Impact Analysis. Click to enlarge. Click to enlarge.
CAR did not assume any downsizing of the vehicle sales fleet or significant reduction in performance by vehicles in any segment as a means for increasing fuel economy standards by 2025. next scenario represents an average CO 2 reduction of 4%, or a corporate average fuel economy of. use of stop/start technology.
Dana Holding Corporation is now offering its Spicer PowerBoost hydraulic-hybrid system for field testing by off-highway original-equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Spicer PowerBoost technology can also reduce total ownership and operating costs by increasing productivity, reducing maintenance, and allowing for the use of a downsized engine.
The analysis used by federal agencies to set standards for fuel economy (CAFE) and greenhouse gas emissions for new US light-duty vehicles from 2017 to 2025 was thorough and of high caliber overall, according to a new report from the National Research Council. Background. to 41 mpg by 2021 and 48.7 mpg by 2025. Summary findings.
West Virginia University Research Corporation. Develop and demonstrate technologies to enable a downsized, boosted, lean, low temperature gasoline combustion engine system that improves fuel economy while meeting emissions requirements. General Motors. HRL Laboratories, LLC. 1,400,260.
Subaru Corporation and Aisin Corporation have agreed to jointly develop and share production of eAxles for use in battery electric vehicles (BEVs) that Subaru will start producing from the latter half of the 2020s, by combining their knowledge and expertise in vehicle and transmission development.
Time frames, costs, investment figures, efficiency gains, plans for corporate synergies — a whole range of concrete details — were left fuzzy or simply not addressed. That was its plan for cleaner, downsized 1.4-liter However, Moro did shed a little new light, saying there will be one-and two-blade variants. liter and 2.0-liter
Sources say Suzuki Motor Corporation chairman Osamu Suzuki wasn’t happy paying high license fees to FCA and an eye-watering amount to upgrade the engine to meet BS6 norms. After all, this four-cylinder engine was essentially two Celerio diesel units forged together and downsized to 1.5 The ubiquitous 1.3 So why stop using it?
At the workshop, Kiyoshi Fujiwara, Mazda Executive Officer in charge of project planning and development, suggested unofficially that Mazda engineers think they ultimately may be able to approach 60% thermal efficiency with combustion engines for light duty vehicles. Extreme compression ratio rather than downsizing. Click to enlarge.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently released a detailed proposal designed to strengthen greenhouse gas emissions standards for light-duty vehicles. The framework is deliberately designed to prevent downsizing , even though manufacturing smaller vehicles is the best strategy for reducing CO2 emissions.
