Furthermore, the objective was to take the changing vibration behavior of the increasingly economical yet, at the same time, more powerful downsizing units into account. Therefore, all 8HP automatic transmissions feature particularly advanced torsional vibration dampers. seconds as was previously the case.

The FF Hybrid system that will be launched soon for front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive is built with three main technologies: a downsized internal combustion engine; a new highly efficient CVT, and a compact Li-ion battery. Physically, the motor and clutch occupy the space of the conventional vehicle’s torque converter.

Renault’s ongoing downsizing strategy is aimed at reducing the cubic capacity of its engines in order to bring down fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions, without detracting from performance. The downsizing process involved shortening the piston stroke by reducing the size of the crank pin and conrod assembly. Select Engines.

Package efficiency improvements include downsizing the Power Control Unit (PCU) with a double-sided inverter cooling system. The PCU inverter boosts direct current (DC) voltage from the HV battery and converts it to alternating current (AC) to drive the electric traction motor and, where applicable, the rear-drive E-Four electric motor.

Di Turbo Jet E5 drive torque is comparable to the one of an aspirated V6 engine which is almost twice its displacement, according to Fiat, but with significant efficiency gains through the downsizing. Lastly, the exhaust ducts were designed to work in tune with the exhaust manifold and maximize its pulse converter effect.

For this next-generation design, 70% of the parts have been redesigned, which, along with a downsized oil pump, lower oil level and low viscosity oil results in up to 40% reduction in internal friction (versus the previous design). Both engines are matched with a next-generation Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission).

For experimental convenience, relatively long and massive exhaust lines connected the engine to the reformers in this study, resulting in heating times approaching 20 min. Even with substantial reductions in exhaust line thermal mass, downsizing of the reformer is likely to be required to achieve heating times significantly below 5 min.

The fundamental challenge is to convert as much of the chemical energy in the fuel, into mechanical energy, as efficiently as possible at the prescribed flow rate. The rest of the energy is recovered by the MGU-H (for ‘Heat’); an electrical machine connected to the turbocharger. Conversion efficiency is now the key.
