Continually improving technologies such as cylinder deactivation, high compression Atkinson cycle engines, lightweighting, and 48V mild hybridization will allow internal combustion to dominate automakers’ strategies to comply with adopted 2025 standards. Previous costs of compliance have been greatly overestimated.

The new six-cylinder in-line engine comes with an intelligent form of turbocharging: assisted by the ISG at start-off, the electric auxiliary compressor (eZV) guarantees immediate high torque when driving off and accelerating, bridging the time before the large exhaust turbocharger cuts in. Almost imperceptible restart of the engine.

A team at the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) has released a paper assessing technical barriers to the use of higher blends of ethanol. Theoretically, cars operating on higher ethanol blends than the design point could emit greater concentrations of pollutants in exhaust gas. Source: ICCT. Click to enlarge.

At a February 2018 meeting, an IMO-subcommittee announced a proposal to ban the carriage of non-compliant bunker fuel (fuel that exceeds the 0.50% sulfur limit) aboard ships that have not installed on-board ship scrubbers (exhaust gas cleaning systems), Barrow said. As of August 2017, approximately 360 ships had installed scrubbers.

This annual sales estimate, combining both passenger and commercial vehicles, would add more than 232 million turbocharged vehicles globally between 2017 and 2021—an increase of 35% from today. E-boosting products can significantly improve engine responsiveness and also provide better fuel economy.

In addition to that, they create lesser noise pollution which means additional health benefits for everyone including a decrease in road rage, anxiety, and tension and an increase in cognitive abilities. These cars are also well-known for their reduction in emissions and hence have become a favorite with many environmentally conscious users.

The researchers suggest that there are engine architectures that can provide higher thermodynamic efficiencies than available from modern internal combustion engines; however, new fuels are required to maximize efficiency and operability across a wide speed/load range. Thrust 2, said Wagner, is facing a decision point in March 2017.

Vehicle tailpipes are a more important source of ammonia’s contribution to urban air pollution than is agriculture, according to a study by researchers from the US and China. The presence of NH 3 in vehicle exhaust greatly enhances the formation and growth of secondary inorganic aerosols. Wallace and Hu Jun Leong of Rice University; M.
