Downsized 5.5L V8 Biturbo in S 63 AMG Delivers 25% Fuel Savings Compared to Predecessor; Stop-Start is Standard

Green Car Congress

For the first time, AMG is also utilizing the advantages of gasoline direct injection with spray-guided combustion and piezo-electric injectors: thanks to its higher thermodynamic efficiency, this technology makes more efficient use of fuel and leads to lower exhaust emissions. With the provisional NEDC fuel consumption of 10.5

Fiat Launches New 1.8L Gasoline Direct-Injection Turbo in Lancia Delta

Green Car Congress

Di Turbo Jet E5 drive torque is comparable to the one of an aspirated V6 engine which is almost twice its displacement, according to Fiat, but with significant efficiency gains through the downsizing. The direct injection system uses an advanced strategy of double injection to reduce emissions. The 200 HP 1.8 Lancia Delta 1.8

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

Green Car Congress

The ESR is therefore a crucial scaling factor when evaluating the net effects of substituting gasoline with ethanol in terms of energy, GHG emissions and costs. For instance, the ESR is 1.5 if the use of 1 MJ ethanol leads to a savings of 1.5 MJ gasoline. —Yan et al. lower to 23.6% —Yan et al. Credit: ACS, Yan et al.
