Researchers at Tianjin University in China report that combing split injection to the Miller cycle with boost pressure can effectively decrease the knock tendency and increase the engine torque in a downsized spark-ignition engine. The researchers used a Ricardo E6 4-stroke SI engine in the study, with a swept volume of 0.5

At the 21 st Supercharging Conference in Dresden next week, Torotrak Group will present results from engine testing that verify previous claims for V-Charge, a variable drive mechanical supercharger. V-Charge system with mechanical variable drive outperforms conventional boosting methods on downsized gasoline engine.

Land Rover is launching a new plug-in hybrid powertrain, based around a downsized 3-cylinder engine, that promises greater fuel economy and more electric range than the British automaker's current models. However, Land Rover told Green Car Reports that there are no plans to bring these latest plug-in hybrids to the United States.

Further, there is increasing interest among stakeholders in exploring the benefits of higher octane fuels that would lead to higher compression ratios which would lead to more efficient engines and reduced fuel consumption. One significant trend is engine downsizing coupled with turbocharging. Source: U.S. Click to enlarge.

Simulation study finds Miller version of Scuderi engine can deliver twice the BMEP as naturally aspirated version, theoretically enabling 50% downsizing while maintaining performance. In a naturally aspirated conventional engine, this would result in a loss of BMEP, but an increase in thermal efficiency. Source: Scuderi.

Steels hardened in this way are suited for use in components subjected to high mechanical and thermal loads in downsized, energy-efficient and low-emission engines of the future. Combustion engines still have potential to save energy and reduce emissions; a current trend is to use downsized engines of the same or even increased power.
