In its new report on downsized and boosted gasoline engine technologies ( earlier post ) the ICCT highlighted Ricardo’s work on an “extreme” Miller cycle concept with high (13:1) compression ratio (CR) and central direct injection in a downsized boosted engine.

However, while Mazda plans to offer hybrid vehicles in the medium-term, its engineers are pushing hard to increase the efficiencies of both the gasoline and diesel platforms, moving toward what they call “the ideal Internal Combustion Engine.” Extreme compression ratio rather than downsizing. Although downsizing—i.e.,

At 48 volts, a VTES electric supercharger will transform 7kW of battery power into a highly boosted charge of air for downsized gasoline and diesel engines. There will be no torque deficit or other tradeoffs from essential engine downsizing and higher gearing, which now dominates the development of internal combustion engines.

The new third-generation Kia Ceed will be the second among a range of Kia models to offer the new powertrain from 2019. If the battery has sufficient charge, the combustion engine turns off automatically during in-gear deceleration and braking. Charge from the 48V battery helps to start the engine in most conditions.

Re-emphasizing the general technology points that have emerged over the past few months at different events while adding a bit more detail, Yoshikazu Tanaka, Product General Manager of the Product Planning Group, said at the Geneva show that Toyota’s current fuel cell (FC) system features an output power density of 3.0

We’re focused on the customers’ most critical issue—smaller packaging. Eaton has developed a range of next-generation variable valvetrain systems for high-speed overhead camshaft engines. When alloy choice alone is not enough to handle thermal loads, Eaton offers a full range of internally cooled engine valves.

The researchers suggest that there are engine architectures that can provide higher thermodynamic efficiencies than available from modern internal combustion engines; however, new fuels are required to maximize efficiency and operability across a wide speed/load range. We’re not going to say “Ethanol. Ethanol is the answer.”
