Bosch sees future requiring multiple powertrain technologies; the larger the vehicle, the more the electrification

Green Car Congress

Bosch does not believe there is just one powertrain solution for the future; most of the cars on the world’s roads are still running on diesel and gasoline, and things will stay that way for the rest of the decade, Bohr noted. Only the diesel engine will achieve this in the compact class, but the gasoline engine will come close.

Calls for an international 48V electrical standard for vehicles; looming WLTP implementation

Green Car Congress

This means that in addition the power demand is more difficult to achieve with engine downsizing and transmission down-speeding alone. Thermal management of the electrical machine is another critical factor, because the duration of the boosting and energy recovery operating modes directly impacts fuel economy and emissions.

Eaton Highlights Range of New Products to Reduce Fuel Consumption and Emissions

Green Car Congress

The all-new electronic limited slip differential, Ultra Posi is designed for front and rear-wheel drive vehicles, performs comparably to four-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive systems and provides up to a 10% savings in fuel economy, Eaton says. The 2010 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid SUV features an Audi 3.0L Audi will replace the 3.6-liter

Volkswagen Group introducing Modular Transverse Matrix this year; new engine families, lighter weight construction, powertrain flexibility

Green Car Congress

This range includes the first four-cylinder engine with cylinder deactivation (ACT)—and the modular diesel engine system (MDB) with the also new EA288 engine series (66 kW / 89 hp to 140 kW / 188 hp). The advantage is significantly accelerated pressure build-up, which leads to very responsive downsized engines.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

Though the PHEV combines the two types of energy and power, it is not merely a temporary “transition” between gasoline and diesel cars to pure electric cars. The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), a subset of the PEV, uses electricity plus a different energy source (at present gasoline or diesel) to run its second engine.
