At the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit this week, Ford delivered first proof of that focus with the reveal of the new Ford GT carbon-fiber supercar, as well as the new F-150 Raptor based on the new aluminum F-150 and the Shelby GT350R Mustang. Ford has been selling hybrids and, later plug-ins, since 2004.

They found that the level of emissions of regulated and unregulated pollutants in diesel exhaust depends on fuel, load, engine calibration, and exhaust aftertreatment technology. L/2004 calibration engines. L/2002 calibration and 6.4 For the study, they used a GM 2002 1.7 The engine is equipped with EGR and a platinum-based DOC.

When the car is filled at the pump, an internal system analyses the mix of the two fuel types and adjusts accordingly. The first such vehicles were introduced by Volkswagen in 2003, and by 2004, they accounted for more than 17% of the Brazilian auto market. The water contained in hydrous ethanol blends also reduces NO x emissions.

Since the pistons cyclically expose or occlude the exhaust and intake ports, there is no valve train. Because the intake and exhaust ports are at the opposite ends of the cylinder, opposed-piston engines have efficient, uniflow scavenging. Scavenging continues until a 230° crank angle, at which time the exhaust ports close.

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.

Like electric cars, electric bicycles are classified as zero-emission vehicles, meaning they emit no exhaust gases. Although such vehicles are more environmentally friendly than their petrol counterparts, there is a greener option that many governments seem to have overlooked: the electric bicycle.

The built-in electric field or a threshold voltage in these devices requires an applied bias high enough to overcome the internal field and generate a significant current flow. Conventional rectifying diodes are based on either p–n doped junction or a Schottky barrier. Singh et al. Manchester University. Click to enlarge.

J1711 (Recommended Practice For Measuring The Exhaust Emissions And Fuel Economy Of Hybrid Electric Vehicles) is designed to establish uniform chassis dynamometer test procedures for hybrid-electric vehicles that are designed to be driven on public roads. Estimated completion for J1711 is summer 2009. abuse testing more quantitative.

And when operating in EV mode at speeds up to 30mph, it uses no fuel and produces zero exhaust emissions. Adopting the Atkinson cycle and a new, cooled exhaust gas recirculation system brings significant gains in fuel efficiency and emissions reduction. As a result the exhaust temperature is lower than that of conventional engines.

In the longer term internal combustion engines in general start to hit a wall in terms of CO 2 improvement, and ultimately they need a contribution from the fuel side. 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.
