Vehicle size, a key determinant of fuel economy, has shown a reduction in OECD countries, while the non-OECD trend is toward bigger vehicles. The analysis, an update of an earlier work using data from 2010 and 2011, found that the global average for light-duty vehicle fuel economy was 7.2 per year between 2005 and 2008.

The new turbocharged gasoline engine achieves a superior level of engine performance with maximum power output of 155kW (211ps) while improving fuel economy with its downsized displacement. All grades of the next-generation Skyline turbo model achieve the 2015 fuel economy standard, qualifying for tax breaks.

While fuel economy of engined-cars is the key technology pathway to decarbonizing the transport sector by 2020, the 2DS also envisages 20 million EVs on the road by 2020, with yearly sales reaching seven million vehicles. Engine downsizing and weight reduction represent around 30% of that potential collectively. billion to US$4.2

The upside of gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines is widely seen as being improved fuel economy coupled with an increase in specific power (especially with turbocharging), enabling significant downsizing. They assumed a baseline fuel economy of 21.4 They assumed a baseline fuel economy of 21.4

Other dimensions of the Mark VIII were larger in all directions, a stark contrast to the extreme downsizing implemented on Mark VI, a measure pushed further by the tidy proportions of the Mark VII.& British maker MG used the engine for three years on the crazy X-Power SV , on sale from 2003 to 2005. & Mark VIII spanned 206.9

Proposed by John Heywood and colleagues at MIT in 2005, the basic premise of E85 boosting is that ethanol (or other lower alcohols) suppresses knock due to the large evaporative cooling effect it has on the air-fuel mixture when injected directly into the cylinder, supplemented by ethanol’s inherent high octane number.
