The TEG technology, which converts waste heat from gas exhaust into electric energy and has the potential to improve passenger car fuel efficiency by as much as 5%. TEG & Exhaust System in Lincoln MKT. This follow-on light-duty vehicle project, funded in 2011, has a target of a 5% fuel economy improvement.

Automobile manufacturers were given tax breaks to produce cars that ran on hydrous ethanol, and, by 1980, every automobile company in Brazil was following this lead. By the mid-1980s, three quarters of the cars manufactured in Brazil were capable of running on sugarcane-based hydrous ethanol. Anhydrous Ethanol vs. Hydrous Ethanol.

SAE standards are generally followed by manufacturers of vehicles destined for North America and other markets. Standards under development in these areas include: J1711: Emissions and Fuel Economy Testing. J1711 was first approved in 1999, expiring in 2004, and had relatively little validation with plug-in hybrid vehicles.

In addition, the combustion system design uses diametrically opposed dual injectors to enable superior control of fuel penetration and mixture stratification for robust ignition and controlled in-cylinder heat release. Rebreathing enabled reduced boost pressure, while greatly increasing exhaust temperature. Earlier post.).
