The new engine will achieve high efficiency using the Atkinson Cycle with an 18:1 compression ratio, combined with aggressive engine downsizing. Engine downsizing is a key tool in improving fuel economy. This is typically accomplished by boosting the incoming charge with either a turbo or supercharger.

The testing process compares fuel economy performance from the vehicle in its original condition with the performance using XL Hybrids’ charge-sustaining hybrid system. XLH engineers have already designed the next-generation release, in which the battery pack is downsized to 1.5 engine and 6-speed transmission. kWh, Ashton said.

Extrapolating from company targets, a future compact-size Lucid—think the size of Tesla Model 3 or Model Y—could decisively downsize its battery without sacrificing useful range. That becomes a low-cost way to generate big improvements in pack density and bolster the mileage of a vehicle,” Castillloux says.

In order to further reduce its CO 2 emissions in this vehicle class, the gasoline engine will require a low-cost, basic hybrid solution. This will be done with a broad range of efficiency-enhancing technologies, including the turbocharging of downsized engines. Automating the manual transmission, for example with the eClutch.

This results in a range of system level requirements from different manufacturers, dictated by vehicle targets and other issues such as battery state-of-charge and energy storage capability. SR machines are ideally suited to this concept of low cost development, while reducing the cost of production components.
