Ford has been selling hybrids and, later plug-ins, since 2004. Ford’s turbocharged, direct-injection EcoBoost technology is available in every new Ford car, utility and light-duty pickup in North America beginning this year. An available Torsen front differential increases off-road capability further. —Raj Nair.

Key changes to implement the integrated cycle are isothermal compression and heat addition from the exhaust gas to the charge air after the end of compression. To transfer exhaust gas heat at the end of compression requires the use of a “split cycle” in which the standard four-stroke sequence is split into two separate elements.

The first system is the innovative recovery of thermal energy by an electric generator powered by exhaust gases. The V-4 gasoline engine of the Porsche 919 Hybrid features direct injection, turbocharging and an energy recovery system for the exhaust gases. Efficient use of available power helps to achieve an optimal lap time.

two split pairs) operating in a 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier would consume 25% less fuel under the FTP (Federal Test Procedure) than the comparable standard gasoline engine, while matching power and torque. A naturally aspirated Scuderi Air-Hybrid configuration consumes 30-36% less fuel under similar drive conditions, the simulations found.

Like electric cars, electric bicycles are classified as zero-emission vehicles, meaning they emit no exhaust gases. The A2B is at the top end of the market at £1,949 ($2,850), but there is a huge variety of electric bikes available, starting from only £600. ); So why don’t more people use them in America and Europe?

It charges the battery in “battery charge” mode; in “battery hold” it saves the available electric energy for a later time. This makes it possible for the waste heat from the electrical drive components to be made available to the interior of the Q7 e-tron quattro. The silent thrust is available in full from the start.

Ford planners concluded that the most impactful thing they could do in the short term was to leverage currently available technology. Gains in new vehicle fleet economy by OEM, 2004-2009. Ford, however, was starting with the worst 2004 new vehicle fleet fuel economy of any of its major competitors. Click to enlarge.
