Honda’s current state-of-the-art vehicle is the Clarity Fuel Cell, currently available in Japan, and to be available in the US and Europe by the end of the year. The fuel cell powertrain was made as compact as a Honda 3.5L Cost, productivity, efficiency and fuel economy now offer the highest focus for technology investment, he said.

The Freightliner SuperTruck uses a downsized and downsped 10.7-liter This reduces friction, and increases efficiency and fuel economy. Drivers can run the AC for more than an hour without turning the engine on, resulting in significant reductions in fuel consumption. DTNA SuperTruck technology elements. Click to enlarge.

Kia unveiled three major hybrid offerings at the Chicago Auto Show: the 2017 Niro Hybrid Utility Vehicle; the new Optima Hybrid; and the new Optima Plug-in Hybrid. Because the high-voltage battery is both power and energy dense, engineers were able to use the downsized gasoline engine to maximize fuel economy and reduce emissions.

Gasoline direct-injection (GDI) engines have higher fuel economy compared to the more widely used port fuel injection (PFI) engines. Measurements include gas- and particle-phase emissions, particle number, particle size distributions, and speciated NMOG emissions. For our fleet, increases in the fuel economy of 1.6% (0.5−2.4%;

The new systems are part of Delphi’s broad portfolio of powertrain technologies for gasoline, diesel, hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles. By 2017, we expect a 40:60 split in the gasoline market in Europe between port injection and direct injection. This results in a more fun-to-drive experience with better fuel economy. —Dr.
