The best Formula One engine will be the one that converts energy the most efficiently and this has direct relevance to road car powertrains of tomorrow. During the early development phases of KERS in 2007, the system weighed in at more than 100 kg and worked at a thermal efficiency level of 39%.

However, SIDI engines also have the potential for increased pollutant formation, and require either careful control of combustion for reduced engine-out emissions, or an exhaust after-treatment systems similar to those under development for diesel vehicles.

Even a highly efficient combustion engine converts only about one-third of the energy in the fuel into traction actually propelling the car. The remaining two-thirds are lost as waste heat going into the environment through the car’s exhaust emissions and through the radiator.

Tampering, according to ARB, would include removal of the catalytic converter or carbon canister, changing adjustable parameters or adding devices to boost horsepower. This is proposed in the 2007 State Implementation Plan (SIP). Indeed, such reduction is a long-term measure that is also included in the draft 2007 SIP.

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.
