MILA Blue is a natural-gas powered, A-segment lightweight vehicle that produces less than 49g CO 2 /km. Downsizing—leveraging smaller, lighter components while at the same time maintaining function and performance. MILA Blue uses a compressed natural gas hybrid drive that achieves a carbon footprint of less than 49g CO 2 /km.

Peak combustion pressures will rise from 110 bar to 130 bar and even 160 bar in engines using alternative fuels such as E100, compressed natural gas (CNG) or others, Federal-Mogul notes. Cutaway of the Advanced Elastoval II piston. Click to enlarge. The Advanced Elastoval II piston architecture is up to 20% lighter than previous.

Schematic of downsized and supercharged four-stroke hybrid pneumatic spark injection engine. The reduction in fuel consumption is obtained mainly through enabling the effective use of a heavily downsized engine, rather than from regenerative efficiency. The major part of this gain is due to downsizing the engine. Earlier post.).

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. A low effective CR can reduce the end-gas temperature and, consequently, the Miller cycle can suppress knock.
