For the past four years, the Co-Optimization of Fuels & Engines (Co-Optima) National Laboratory consortium has focused research efforts primarily on turbocharged (boosted) spark-ignition (SI) engines for light-duty vehicles. compression ratio, extent of downsizing, etc.). The Co-Optima team is currently seeking new partners from U.S.

CO 2 emissions of the C 180 in comparison to its predecessor [t/car]. For example, the iron demand is less because the share of steel is less, while the bauxite demand increases because of the higher light alloy share. The C 180 with manual transmission shows a drop in fuel consumption in comparison to its predecessor from between 7.6

3 B-Cycle gasoline engine is the first example of Volkswagen’s “Rightsizing” strategy—an engine development strategy that looks to for the optimal balance of displacement, output, torque and efficiency based on vehicle class and real-world operating conditions, rather than just seeking to downsize. By comparison, the 2017 Tiguan with 2.0L

On 15 Sep, NHTSA and the US EPA proposed a joint rulemaking on fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions for light duty vehicles: an average new car 34.1 Three of the NHTSA scenarios for penetration of technologies for light trucks for MY 2016. This reduces pumping losses at lighter loads in comparison to a larger engine.
