New Mahle piston ring coating for high-output GTDI engines; chromium nitride using high-velocity oxygen fuel process

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 16, 2015

Mahle has developed a new thermal spray coating for modern high-output direct-injection turbocharged gasoline engines (GTDI). The new top ring coating, also referred to as MSC312, uses chromium nitride applied through a high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) thermal spray process. cold gas methods (CGS).

Mazdas new SKYACTIV gasoline and diesel engines are steps on the road to its Ideal Engine; focus on compression ratio

Green Car Congress

AUGUST 4, 2011

From a powertrain frame of reference, Mazda is planning a building block strategy—i.e., the step-by-step introduction of electrification to SKYACTIV internal combustion engines: stop-start, followed by regenerative braking, followed by electric motor drive technologies. Extreme compression ratio rather than downsizing.

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

Green Car Congress

JULY 17, 2015

The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. (In In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) It is much more than that.
