FPT International introduces 8.7-liter CNG engine in China

Green Car Congress

The Cursor 9 CNG offers power up to 400 hp @ 2000 rpm, and torque up to 1700 N·m @ 1.200 rpm, while at the same time having emissions lower than Euro VI. To comply with Euro VI the Cursor 9 CNG does not need Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) or Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), but relies on a simple three-way catalyst.

Engine: 2000 bar injection pressure. liter engine increase the maximum injection pressure by 25% to as much as 2000 bar. Here the exhaust gases are cleaned by a combination of exhaust gas recirculation, oxidation catalytic converter and particulate filter. New injectors for the 3.0-liter It is regenerated automatically.

Study suggests high-mileage light-duty fleets contribute higher emissions and emissions share than expected

Green Car Congress

High emitters occur as a result of breakage, mal-maintenance (performance modifications, rechipping, and/or after-treatment removal), and at end of a vehicle’s useful life. They used remote vehicle exhaust sensors to collect emissions measurements, and recorded a video image of the license plate of each vehicle.

They then combined these estimates with three- and five-year estimates for repairs, maintenance, insurance, fees and taxes from an outside data source. For the second-generation, Audi further optimized the turbo with integral insulation and by moving away from flange-based mounting to the exhaust manifolds to an integrated component.

Promising Delphi 1st-gen Gasoline Direct Injection Compression Ignition engine meeting ultra fuel efficient program targets

Green Car Congress

Due to the lower exhaust enthalpy of lower temperature engines using PPCI, it is difficult to produce intake boost with acceptable boost system parasitis. A practical powertrain system with robust PPCI combustion is needed, including injection, valvetrain, boost, and exhaust subsystems. kWh and FSN 0.1, respectively.
