seconds; its EPA estimated fuel economy rating is 42 mpg US (5.6 Combined with a cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system, the adoption of the Atkinson Cycle offers significant gains in fuel efficiency and the reduction of emissions. As a result, the exhaust temperature is lower than that of conventional engines.

During last month’s SAE 2009 World Congress, Ford presented a research paper into thermoelectric exhaust heat energy recovery. The investigation used computer modelling to predict the performance of TE devices of various physical configurations using average highway speed exhaust gas flows and temperatures of a 2.5l
