l/100 km) in 2016, the The ICCT team assessed increased consumer label fueleconomy (as opposed to the regulatory test fueleconomy) to 35 mpg (6.71 The resulting trajectory would reduce CO 2 emissions by half and increase fueleconomy by more than 60% from 2016 through 2030.
Ford says the engine can deliver up to 15% better fueleconomy than comparable six-cylinder engines. Featuring a twin-scroll turbocharger and a three-port integrated exhaust manifold (IEM), the 2.3-liter Two pivotal factors are the three-port integrated exhaust manifold cylinder head and a twin-scroll turbocharger.
The high-level performance goals of the Partnership are a 25-40% improvement in fueleconomy in a light-duty vehicle (LDV) and achieving 55% brake thermal efficiency (BTE) in heavy-duty engine systems. bio-derived) fuels have the potential to dramatically increase fueleconomy. The potential is significant.
The Cummins team not only surpassed all fuel-economy targets, but also achieved criteria emissions lower than the stringent Tier 2/Bin 2 levels. Test cycle fueleconomy (mpg). The Highway FuelEconomy Test (HFET) and FTP-75 Test (city) cycles demonstrated fueleconomy above 35 mpg (6.72
When it comes to your ICE vehicle, you want it to be running at its best, and that includes having the right exhaust system. Here are five tips to help you pick the right exhaust system: Exhaust for good looks & performance. They are usually lighter and more efficient and can improve horsepower and fueleconomy.
The intake ports that feed the combustion chambers, as well as the D-shaped exhaust ports, are designed for excellent high-rpm airflow. The exhaust ports are also designed for greater flow. Under other conditions, the phaser adjusts to deliver optimal valve timing for performance, drivability and fueleconomy.
The new SAKOR test stand will be used for valve train development and testing and is expected to facilitate improvements in fueleconomy. SAKOR Technologies, Inc., In older engines, timing of valve opening and closing was fixed, but newer designs are being developed to change the timing depending upon the engine speed and load.
A long exhaust stroke then extracts maximum efficiency. The basic architecture of the Magma concept was a boosted four-stroke gasoline engine with four valves per cylinder. The Magma concept architecture closes the inlet valve early to reduce pumping losses. The concept placed particular demands on the boosting system.
An automotive TEG is intended to improve fueleconomy by power from waste heat to reduce the electric generator load on the engine. GMZ is targeting a fueleconomy improvement of 5%. Fuel Efficiency Thermoelectrics Vehicle Systems' W/cm 2 to 6.0 Click to enlarge. down-speeding, downsized engine, etc.),
The National Academies have released a third review of the 21 st Century Truck Partnership (21CTP); the review follows the Phase 1 and Phase 2 reviews by the National Research Council in 2008 and 2012 ( earlier post ) and assesses the progress the partnership has made. In terms of fueleconomy, the truck achieved 10.7
Review of ethanol properties. In their paper, Robert Stein from AVL and James Anderson and Tim Wallington from Ford begin by reviewing properties of ethanol and gasoline blends. As a result, as the ethanol content of the fuel is increased, the fueleconomy and driving range for a given fuel tank size are reduced.
On 15 Sep, NHTSA and the US EPA proposed a joint rulemaking on fueleconomy and greenhouse gas emissions for light duty vehicles: an average new car 34.1 mpg if the automotive industry were to meet this CO 2 level just through fueleconomy improvements.) ( Earlier post.). mpg and 250 g CO 2 /km for model year 2016.
The new SAKOR test stand will be used for valve train development and testing and is expected to facilitate improvements in fueleconomy. SAKOR Technologies, Inc., In older engines, timing of valve opening and closing was fixed, but newer designs are being developed to change the timing depending upon the engine speed and load.
With stagnating demand for gasoline due to rising fueleconomy in the nation’s fleet and other factors, further increases to US ethanol consumption would require the use of higher blends of ethanol, either in conventional vehicles or in flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs) designed to tolerate blends of up to 85% ethanol (E85).
This would include a new turbocharger and corresponding exhaust manifold modifications, and a new air filter to reduce inlet pressure loss. Potential fueleconomy benefit over baseline is 3% for both intercity and local duty cycles. Potential fueleconomy benefit over baseline is 30% on the freight duty cycle.
All the grades will achieve fueleconomy-based tax exemptions in Japan. The overall improved system also helps achieve fueleconomy gains. The XTRONIC combined with the engine adopts the same step shift control as gasoline vehicles have, which contributes to superior fuel efficiency and strong acceleration.
Other performance and/or off-road bits include a dual exhaust, skid plates, running boards, LED fog lamps, trail control, tow hooks, modular front bumper, 17-inch wheels, an electronic locking 4.10 I mentioned the abysmal fuel-economy numbers – they are 10 mpg city/15 mpg highway/12 mpg combined. The Raptor R gets 37-inch tires.
Tim Johnson, from Corning, in his review of diesel emission control technology at the conference, started as is his practice by a quick regulatory review. Many improvements in fleet fueleconomy in Europe have been achieved through increased diesel market share, with the diesel market share in Europe now above 50%.
Conceptual schematic of direct thermoelectric generator mounted in a vehicle’s exhaust stream. The exhaust energy content of Atkinson-cycle engines, which are used in many hybrid powertrains, is lower than conventional IC engines due to the cycle’s inherently higher thermal efficiency. Indirect configurations are also possible.
Fast-Track incorporates a submission and review process in which both Phase I and Phase II grant applications are combined into one application and submitted and reviewed together. All fuel consumption testing must be conducted according to engine industry norms. are desired.
Give me internal-combustion and real exhaust noise and a trunk – hatchbacks have too much utility for me! My biggest beef was noise – while loud exhaust noise is baked in (and reduces a bit when the car isn’t in a performance drive mode) – the sounds coming out of the rear intrude on conversation. Too tall, too expensive, too electric.
The Premium adds a power panoramic moonroof, black roof rails, black exhaust pipes, leather seats, satellite radio, Bose audio, power passenger seat, memory driver's seat, radar cruise control with stop and go and speed-limit assist, traffic-sign recognition, and auto-dimming rearview mirror. The 19s, however, might be.
Fueleconomy is a predictably dismal 11 mpg city/16 mpg highway/13 mpg combined. There is also V badging throughout, and Brembo brakes with red-painted, six-piston calipers. Plus the usual suite of ADAS systems – trailer blind-zone alert and brake-pad monitoring are the standouts there. But I gotta admit, I kinda want one.
A review of EPA’s heavy-duty certification tables indicates that a number of diesel engine families certified since 2010 have shown the ability to achieve 0.1 Furthermore, these advanced NO x emission controls are compatible with powertrain efficiency technologies to optimize vehicle fueleconomy.
Co-Optima’s premise is that current fuels constrain engine design—and thus engine efficiency. At a compression ratio of 12:1, use of 98 RON fuels (including E20) yielded significant fuel efficiency improvements relative to 92 RON fuel, offering the possibility of fueleconomy parity with E10 fuels for some driving cycles.
When it comes to your ICE vehicle, you want it to be running at its best, and that includes having the right exhaust system.

Yes, you can find certain sporty vehicles that aren’t too pricey, don’t make you sacrifice too much, and in some cases, have respectable fueleconomy.
You can also set up auxiliary gauges on the center screen or put the exhaust into quiet mode. Other options include an active exhaust, a decklid spoiler, and magnetic damping. Fueleconomy for the EcoBoost is 22 mpg city/33 mpg highway/26 mpg combined, and 21/29/24 with the Performance Pack.
Even the most hardcore driving mode still tries to prioritize electric propulsion at low speeds while the adaptive exhaust system is burbling at idle — the engine itself doing nothing. Fueleconomy is said to be 29 mpg on the highway and 23 around town. Still, if you want to try and be frugal, the 14.8-kWh
That means the N Line is just an appearance package that includes 19-inch alloy wheels, dual exhaust tips, a unique spoiler, red accents for the seats, sport seats, Bose audio, aluminum pedals, scuff plates, and black mirrors. Fueleconomy numbers top out at 35 mpg highway for a front-drive SEL.
Only when you exhaust battery charge will it inform you this pure EV mode is no longer possible. With PHEVs at their most fuel-saving at low speeds, this ensures you don’t exhaust your battery before reaching built-up areas with slower traffic and more stop-starts. Is it good to drive? The official figure is 1.5L/100km,
liter compression-ignition OPE will will be 30-50% more fuel efficient than comparable diesel and gasoline direct injection engines, reduce emissions and cost less than alternative technologies under development for meeting 2025 CAFE fueleconomy and Tier 3 emission targets.
