Its work on powertrains focuses on two main areas: the development of a range of electric motors for all-electric vehicles, and new technologies for conventional engines, including a new generation of turbocharged internal combustion engines as well as on new automatic transmissions. Based on a range of cubic capacities extending from 0.9

Extreme compression ratio rather than downsizing. Although downsizing—i.e., liter MZR gasoline engine, with approximately 15% more torque at the lower and mid-ranges, using 87 AKI (anti-knock index, or pump octane) fuel.

In April 2008, Changan displayed a prototype engine developed with Orbital at the Beijing International Motor Show. It incorporated a twin turbocharger which enabled very high levels of performance and maintained a desirable flat torque curve across a wide speed range. It is not the first time that the two companies have joined forces.

Operating range of 2-stroke CAI fueled with gasoline, E10 and E85. Extending its operational range to high-load and low-load boundaries—an enabling factor for CAI to meet demand of production vehicle driving cycles—is a key challenge to full implementation of CAI combustion.

This number represents the electric propulsion range of the PHEV before it must depend upon its internal combustion engine for motive power. A PHEV-20, for example, has a 20-mile electric-only range. In short, a PHEV delivers all of the advantages of a BEV while retaining the unlimited range of traditional gasoline fueled vehicles.

Traditionally, this has been challenging but this combustion process results in ultra low emissions and has been achieved over a wide range of engine operating conditions, even from cold start. The automotive industry, including Lotus Engineering, has quite rightly advocated engine downsizing for four-stroke engines. 1] Coltman, D.,
