The Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium (ALABC) last month showcased three hybrid electric concept vehicles resulting from its R&D program that demonstrate the real-world potential of lead-carbon batteries in 48V architectures. The problem is, while needing to reduce emissions, it is necessary to keep production at a relatively low cost.

Omnivore lays the foundations for a novel and pragmatic vision of a variable compression ratio engine concept suitable for production. The two-stroke cycle, conversely, does not suffer from significant throttling losses and in many ways is a more natural fit for automotive use. Simon Wood, Technical Director of Lotus Engineering.

Such engines may incorporate novel thermodynamic cycles, but should not simply involve regurgitation of existing concepts (e.g., The engines shall have extremely low engine-out nitrogen oxides (NO x ) and particulate matter (PM) as a target; and shall have efficiency similar to state-of-the-art direct injection diesel engines (i.e.,
