The V-6’s VVT-iW variable valve timing system has been engineered to ensure high torque production at all engine speeds. Additionally, the output filter for the DC-DC converter has been redesigned so that it is more dimensionally compact (improved packaging/weight savings) and produces less noise (reduced NVH).

The committee estimated costs for turbocharging and downsizing to range from close to zero, when converting from a V6 to a four cylinder engine, to almost $1,000 when converting from a V8 to a V6. Deactivation can reduce fuel consumption by as much as 10% at a retail vehicle price increase of $350 to $500, the report says.

BMW announced the production versions of the BMW ActiveHybrid X6 and the BMW ActiveHybrid 7. On brake application and/or on deceleration, kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy and is stored in the battery pack. The high-voltage, nickel-metal hydrid technology (NiMH) battery pack has a total capacity of 2.4

The 2016 Prius uses smaller, lighter hybrid components, including a new lithium-ion hybrid battery that replaces the nickel-metal hydride battery (excluding the Prius Two non-Eco grade) in most models. An enhanced DC-DC boost converter contributes to enhanced fuel economy by reducing output current in low-load situations.

We Promote PHEV Conversion Programs: First CalCars in 2004, then a number of aftermarket companies, have converted over 200 cars — at first most were for fleets, but more and more are going to individual owners. Drivers of converted cars have received high levels of cooperation from dealer service departments so far.

Mr. Kulongoski wants to make Oregon the go-to state for electric vehicle production. There are companies that are reinventing the lead-acid battery to make it more competitive with lithium-ion and nickel metal hydride in terms of storage capacity versus weight, durability, and cold weather performance.
