The conversion to D-EGR improved engine efficiency by at least 10% across the performance map, with some operating conditions seeing substantially higher improvements, as noted above. The compression ratio of the engine was increased to 11.7:1 1 to take advantage of the improved knock resistance from reformate and EGR.

Conversions are expensive, noted Lyle Shuey, Bright VP of Marketing and Sales, and the converted Transporters will not be as efficient as the purpose-built IDEA. By way of comparison, the IDEA is designed to have a 30-mile AER with fuel economy of 100 mpg. Fuel economy, 50-mile cycle. Fuel economy, 50-mile cycle.

These new exhaust aftertreatment technologies and catalysts must have light off temperatures of 150 °C and conversion efficiencies near 90%, to fully meet topic objectives. Vehicle-level goals are to improve fuel economy by 35% for gasoline and by 50% for diesel, compared to a baseline 2009 gasoline vehicle. EPA Tier 3.

Effects of changes in the average lifespan of ordinary passenger cars newly registered between 1990-2000 on total induced CO 2 emissions in 2000. Conversely, encouraging shortened vehicle lifetime via vehicle replacement schemes can result in higher total-induced greenhouse gas emissions, the authors found. Click to enlarge.

improvement in city fuel economy (24.5 D-EGR is a SwRI-developed gasoline engine concept that uses in-cylinder fuel reforming to produce CO and H 2 (with Research Octane Numbers of 106 and 130, respectively) and high levels of recirculated gas (EGR) to achieve very high levels of thermal efficiency. The engine conversion.
