The all-new electronic limited slip differential, Ultra Posi is designed for front and rear-wheel drive vehicles, performs comparably to four-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive systems and provides up to a 10% savings in fuel economy, Eaton says. —Chris Ostrander, vice president and general manager - Eaton Torque Controls.
Power management company Eaton has introduced a complete suite of solutions from its Vehicle Group to reduce vapor emissions produced during the refueling of gasoline-powered vehicles. This leakage occurs in all gasoline-powered vehicles, including passenger cars and an increasing number of small- and mid-sized commercial vehicles.
Eaton Corporation and Murphy Oil USA, Inc., a leading fuel provider operating more than 1,000 retail gasoline stations across 22 states, are collaborating to demonstrate to electric vehicle drivers the benefits of fast, convenient charging within the familiar environment of a traditional gas station.
In 2011, Nissan launched a version of the Micra city car equipped with a new supercharged gasoline direct-injection engine (HR12DDR). Nissan used an Eaton Roots-type supercharger with twin 4-lobe rotors, with a revolution of 2.4:1 Supercharged Gasoline Engine (SAE 2012-01-0415 ). Earlier post.). 1 compared to engine revolution.
Eaton has announced its newest supercharger—TVS2—which improves vehicle manufacturers’ ability to deliver an optimal single boosted application, or to pair this device with other boosting technologies in order to deliver compound boosting solutions for improved engine performance—a combined supercharger-turbocharger system.
The engine can be paired with a variety of transmissions depending on the application including the Eaton Cummins Endurant to enable additional drivability benefits and efficiency gains. will be offered in diesel, natural gas, gasoline and propane. Additionally, the B6.7
Eaton Corporation. Eaton Corporation. Development of a Flex Fuel Mixing Controlled Combustion System for Gasoline/Ethanol Blends Enabled by Prechamber Ignition. AOI 3: Reducing the Cost of DC Fast Charging Equipment. BorgWarner Inc. North Carolina State University. Marquette University.
The largest single award ($10 million) goes to Delphi Automotive Systems to further the development of its Gasoline Direct-Injection Compression Ignition (GDCI) low-temperature combustion technology ( earlier post ) that provides high thermal efficiency with low NO x and PM emissions. Eaton Corp. Eaton Corp. 10,000,000.
A team from Syracuse University and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is exploring the use of supercritical (SC) dieseline (a diesel-gasoline blend) as an optimized fuel for advanced diesel engine designs. Given its specific properties, gasoline appears as a good choice for a blending fuel and an anticoking agent.
V-Charge system with mechanical variable drive outperforms conventional boosting methods on downsized gasoline engine. Test results for NVH show the sound pressure of a V-Charge installation is up to 15.9dB(A) lower than a similar Eaton system with encapsulation, and 19.7 dB(A) lower than the similar Eaton system without encapsulation.
He has had active leadership roles working with vehicle design and engineering of US OEMs, systems integrators and tier suppliers, including Mercedes-Benz, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Orion Bus, Magna, Eaton, Continental and others. IDEA performance upgrade. The initial IDEA had an all-electric range of 30 miles.
Researchers from Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and Eaton have demonstrated the application of downspeeding and supercharging a diesel vehicle, in conjunction with optimizing transmission gear ratios and the shift schedule, to deliver a greater improvement in fuel economy than a downsped and turbocharged configuration.
The engine will include new technologies developed by Envera and Tier-1 supplier Eaton. Eaton will provide a new advanced supercharger and variable valve actuation (VVA) technology. Current production gasoline engines are limited in the degree of engine boosting by detonation (combustion knock) at high boost levels.
A new white paper published by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), in collaboration with Eaton, Ricardo, JCI, BorgWarner, Honeywell, and the ITB Group, analyzes current turbocharged, downsized gasoline engine technology developments and trends.
At the recent 2013 SAE World Congress, engineers from Bosch and AVL presented papers on progress in the ACCESS project, describing the design, combustion development and controls development for a resulting 4-cylinder gasoline turbocharged direct injection (GTDI) engine with part-load HCCI capability. Earlier post.).
Hybrid technology was also viewed as important, along with variable valve timing, gasoline direct injection, and mass reduction. During the interview, Eaton indicated that achieving the GHG targets is dependent on the level of EV penetration. Overall, federal agencies project a fleet-wide fuel economy average of between 50 and 52.6
Ford introduced a MyEnergi Lifestyle collaboration for the US in 2013, working with Whirlpool, SunPower and Eaton. In the US, MyEnergi Lifestyle pilot projects in California and Colorado each resulted in energy cost savings of about 60% and CO 2 emissions reductions of more than 55%.
Eaton Corporation will partner with ORNL to develop waste heat recovery (WHR) technology that can be applied to industrial manufacturing processes and vehicle operations in a project titled “High Performance Computing to Enable Next-generation Low- temperature Waste Heat Recovery.”. million tons of CO 2. Arconic Inc.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) is awarding nearly $55 million for 24 projects to develop and deploy advanced vehicle technologies, supporting the Energy Department’s EV Everywhere Grand Challenge to make plug-in electric vehicles as affordable to own and operate as today’s gasoline-powered vehicles by 2022. 2,013,571.
formerly Grande West Transportation Group), a supplier of electric, CNG, gasoline and diesel vehicles, released specifications for the new VMC 1200, a fully electric Class 3 medium-duty commercial truck. The systems feature a Buy America Compliant 220 kW motor with an Eaton multi-speed transmission. Canada-based Vicinity Motor Corp.
Put another way, even when driving the conventional T6 model and accelerating briskly up a winding road, the driver has no idea that only a 2.0L (1,969 cm 3 ), 4-cylinder gasoline engine is doing the work. 2 Audi is also developing a gasoline-engine version of the Q7 e-tron specifically for the Asian markets China, Singapore and Japan.
This project will enable diesel-like efficiency and increased maximum power output in a gasoline engine by using a secondary fuel to suppress engine knock under high load. Eaton Corporation. UChicago Argonne LLC. The Regents of the University of California, Riverside. 914,551.
Annual use of an EV should be less than the average cost of $8,000 per year for using a gasoline in many countries including the USA. Project Better Place plans to deploy a massive network of battery charging spots. A free car on a four-year plan in France is another idea mentioned by Shai Agassi, CEO of Project Better Place.
