Since 2008, Eaton’s Vehicle Group has been laser-focused on reducing emissions and fuel consumption. Fuel economy and emissions regulations are driving engine downsizing and down speeding in commercial vehicles, which is resulting in the need for higher braking efficiency to maintain braking effectiveness at lower speeds.

The automotive industry, including Lotus Engineering, has quite rightly advocated engine downsizing for four-stroke engines. Downsizing therefore isn’t vital and, due to the improved light-load efficiency and emissions performance we see with Omnivore, this technology approach and ‘upsizing’ could permit a more efficient engine.

A new stage in the PSA Peugeot Citroën Group’s downsizing strategy, this new generation of engine block delivers a reduction of fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions, while offering a good level of performance for the entry-level versions. The 208 also introduces a new range of 3-cylinder gasoline engines, 1.0- mpg US or 4.3 208 gasoline range.

In the past, the baseline was the manufacturers’ confidential plans for each model year; in the new analysis, the baseline is each manufacturer’s MY 2008 fleet. Cylinder deactivation: deactivates the intake and exhaust valves and prevents fuel injection into some cylinders during light-load operation.

We see dramatic downsizing and boosting [as] something that’s going to for gasoline engines especially. The basic approach of the downsized 3-cylinder gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine is to reduce engine displacement and decrease engine speed (downsizing and downspeeding) to increase engine load for improved specific fuel consumption.

The new Focus will be one of up to 10 unique models to be built from Ford’s new global C-car platform, which is expected to generate total sales in all regions of 2 million units annually by 2012—a doubling Ford’s 2008 C-car volumes. “People downsize cars, not expectations.

Many approaches have been attempted to achieve CAI operation on the four-stroke spark ignition engines, such as intake air heating, high compression ratio, dual fuel, recycling the exhaust gas, and so on. To minimize the air short-circuiting rate, the intake and exhaust valve timings were adjusted. Earlier post , earlier post.).
