CPT presenting two papers at SAE World Congress on SpeedStart and TIGERS for 48V mild hybrid systems

Green Car Congress

Within the SpeedStart design water-cooled power and control electronics are housed within the rear of the machine to reduce cost, improve control response times and minimise losses in the power electronics. The exhaust gas can reach temperatures greater than 900 °C, whereas the turbine upper functional limit is 850 °C.

Advanced ADEPT 48V affordable mild hybrid on path to meet future ultra-low vehicle emissions

Green Car Congress

The final results will be presented at the UK’s LCV2016 event on 14-15 September. The concept of “intelligent electrification” enables highly aggressive engine downsizing and down-speeding beyond what might normally be possible other than through more expensive hybridization approaches.

MECA report assesses technology feasibility for heavy-duty diesel trucks to meet lower NOx standards by 2024

Green Car Congress

The report presents dynamometer test results and emission models from fully aged aftertreatment systems installed on heavy-duty on-road engines to offer several compliance paths that are achievable by model year 2024 without significant changes to today’s engines or aftertreatment systems. The cost of controlling NO x to 0.05 Credit: MECA.

Toyota introducing new powertrain units based on TNGA; transmissions, engine, hybrid system, 4WD

Green Car Congress

The transmission system utilizes gear drive when starting from a full stop, resulting in powerful acceleration while at the same time resolving the momentary sluggish feeling that was previously present during accelerator operation. Shift responsiveness has improved through downsizing of the pulley and reduction of inertia by 40%.
