According to its estimates, adopting the full combination of improved technologies in medium and large cars and pickup trucks with spark-ignition engines could reduce fuel consumption by 29% at an additional cost of $2,200 to the consumer. Turbocharging and downsizing can also yield fuel consumption reductions.

The new gearbox could enable manufacturers to downsize EVs’ electric motors, keeping them running longer at the medium loads and speeds where peak efficiency of more than 95% is possible. You can use that 10 percent to improve EVs’ range or reduce the size, weight and cost of battery packs. —Bill Martin, Zeroshift’s managing director.
