Since this energy loss is primarily thermal in nature and can be attributed to the exhaust, cooling system, and engine and transmission surfaces, Mazda’s R&D team’s central focus is on improving the engine’s thermal efficiency cost-effectively. Extreme compression ratio rather than downsizing. Although downsizing—i.e.,

LSPI is considered an impediment to aggressive engine downsizing to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The initial meeting for the Preignition Prevention Program Consortium is scheduled for January 2011. Under these conditions, a preignition event leads to very heavy knock, which can cause catastrophic damage in only a few engine cycles.

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. In the start-up phase since September 2011, the new EB engine will be produced at Trémery.

Renault’s ongoing downsizing strategy is aimed at reducing the cubic capacity of its engines in order to bring down fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions, without detracting from performance. The downsizing process involved shortening the piston stroke by reducing the size of the crank pin and conrod assembly. Select Engines.

Turbocharging and downsizing can also yield fuel consumption reductions. Downsizing is an important strategy applicable in combination with technologies that increase engine torque, such as turbocharging or supercharging. Part of the gain from advanced-level CI diesel engines comes from downsizing.
