Smaller engines with turbochargers have spread throughout new vehicles as a way to meet the increasingly stringent fuel-efficiency rules that started in 2012. But no maker has been as forward about marketing that technology as Ford, which now offers a range of downsized and boosted engines under the EcoBoost brand.

The survey shows continued growth in automaker’s overall use of aluminum reaching a high of 343 lbs (156 kg) per vehicle in 2012—up 5% from 327 lbs (148 kg) in 2009. Using aluminum will extend the efficiencies of other technologies, while enabling secondary cost-savings from downsized powertrains without sacrificing performance.

The EU has set a standard for 6 × 10 12 number/km limits between 2014 and 2017, tightening to 6 × 10 11 number/km. GDI technology provides fuel efficiency benefits from charge air cooling, more facile turbocharging, and the downsizing that these permit. Earlier post.). Source: MECA, Ford Motor Company.

This is also an advantage because cooling systems can be downsized or removed altogether. Jorgensen served as Technical Fellow in General Motors R&D labs until July 2017. This factor is crucial as it greatly increases the efficiency of the cells by reducing the amount of energy that is lost as heat.
