Cummins ETHOS 2.8L optimized E-85 engine demonstrates 50-80% reduction in CO2 emissions in medium-duty truck

Green Car Congress

is designed specifically to use E-85 (85% ethanol and 15% gasoline). In 2012, Cummins came back to the CEC with a request for a 6-month extension (although with no change in funding), to accommodate a reduction in the size of the downsized engine to the current 2.8L The Cummins ETHOS 2.8L Earlier post.)

Delphi develops new high-pressure common rail systems for heavy-duty and light-duty engines; Euro VI and beyond

Green Car Congress

Delphi presented the work in a technical paper “Development of High-Pressure Common Rail Systems Incorporating Advanced Electronic Control Strategies for Future Heavy-Duty Vehicles,” at the 33 rd Vienna Motor Symposium last week. This concept system is expected to be ideal for heavily downsized applications and developing markets.

Researchers propose evaluating alt fuel efficiency based on energy rather than volume; impact of ethanol on vehicle efficiency and GHGs

Green Car Congress

Given these substantial effects of ESR on the net GHG impact of ethanol observed herein, we assert that it is important and feasible to reduce the uncertainties in ESR and to take ESR into account in future stochastic LCAs to capture these potential risks that have been largely overlooked. Future potential for ethanol optimization.

Schaeffler showcases eDifferential and eWheel Drive for electric Mobility

Green Car Congress

The second PMSM, which regulates the distribution of torque, must only supply 5 kW of power in order to generate a difference in torque on the axle of up to 2000 N·m. The unit comprises a liquid-cooled 50 kW, 95 N·m electric motor designed and manufactured by Schaeffler subsidiary IDAM.

Delphi Supplying Multec Diesel Common Rail System for 3-Cylinder, 1.2L VW Polo BlueMotion

Green Car Congress

Our customers are downsizing their engines to meet stringent CO2 requirements. Delphi says that the common rail system will suit future generations of downsized engines in a range of vehicle classes. The pump is designed to simplify packaging and reduce weight while providing 2,000 bar maximum rail pressure.

Study finds tailor-made fuels from biomass could significantly reduce emissions of criteria pollutants and greenhouse gases

Green Car Congress

All fuels were analyzed in four load points, three of which are within the NEDC range for an inertia weight class of 1590 kg, the fourth being of interest for future downsizing concepts. A common rail system with a maximum fuel injection pressure of 2000 bar was used as injection system. Click to enlarge.
