The ADEPT project was launched in 2013 to demonstrate the potential for 48V-based intelligent electrification to deliver full hybrid-scale fuel efficiency from a highly cost-effective package. An effective limitation on downsizing, however, is the delivery of acceptable driveability characteristics and launch performance.
For the 2013 XF and XJ lineup, Jaguar is adding two new downsized forced induction gasoline powerplants: 3.0-liter The turbine housing for the low inertia turbocharger is integrated with the lightweight, thin-walled exhaust manifold, shortening the engine and catalyst warm up times and reducing emissions.
The team presented a paper on their work at the 2013 SAE World Congress in Detroit. Given the properties of the fuel blend, improved fuel efficiencies can be generated by several approaches, including downsizing/downspeeding; increased compression ratio; reduced enrichment; and the leveraging of improved efficiency at part load.
In November 2013, Nissan introduced the new Skyline with Nissan’s novel one-motor two-clutch hybrid system in every grade. 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. Earlier post.)
The EcoBoost approach enables the downsizing engine capacity—replacing naturally-aspirated engines with much smaller units without sacrificing power output. By 2013, the company plans globally to produce 1.5 By 2013, the company plans globally to produce 1.5 million EcoBoost engines annually. EcoBoost in China.
Compared to gasoline, the lower alcohols exhibit high latent heat of vaporisation and anti-knock rating, which makes them attractive for use in future “downsized” highly boosted SI engines that endure significantly higher peak in-cylinder pressures and temperatures. The system is based on a shaft-in-shaft cam operating principle.
liter, normally-aspirated V8 engine used from 2006 to 2013 is replaced by a turbo 1.6-liter A sole single-stage compressor and single-stage exhaust turbine are used for pressure charging. Per the regulations, the Mercedes team downsized their internal combustion engine (ICE) to a 1.6 The F1 W05. Click to enlarge. Turbocharger.
Pinnacle has signed a licensing and joint development agreement with a major, as yet unnamed, Asian vehicle OEM, with lower power products targeted for two- and three-wheel applications in the developing country markets expected to be available in the first quarter of 2013. Pinnacle Engines’ 4-stroke opposed-piston engine. Click to enlarge.
That confirmed TOYOTA Racing’s sixth win from 15 WEC races, its second consecutive victory following its triumph in the 2013 season finale in Bahrain. TOYOTA cars have raced in 15 Le Mans 24 Hours races, achieving a best result of second place on four occasions (1992, 1994, 1999 & 2013). 919 Hybrid pit stop. Click to enlarge.

The concept of “intelligent electrification” enables highly aggressive engine downsizing and down-speeding beyond what might normally be possible other than through more expensive hybridization approaches. Further energy recovery is achieved from CPT’s exhaust-mounted 48V turbine integrated exhaust gas energy recovery system known as TIGERS.
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.).
Further, implementation of VTC and high-capacity EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) to both the intake and exhaust ports realizes significantly reduced friction. By downsizing from the present 2.2L This employs direct injection technology and the Atkinson cycle using the DOHC, VTEC technologies as the base. Diesel engine.
Variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust camshafts helps 4-cylinder Ford EcoBoost engines optimize gas flow through the combustion chamber at all engine speeds, improving efficiency and performance, particularly at part load. By 2013, Ford expects to offer EcoBoost engines in 90% of its global product lineup.
In 2013 the European Parliament recommended an “indicative range” of 68–78 g/km for 2025, while holding out the possibility that even lower targets should be considered if justified. Under current European Union regulations, average new car CO 2 emissions must decrease from the present 120 grams per kilometer (g/km) to 95 g/km by 2021.
Knock and fuel octane rating are becoming increasingly important due to many powertrain design trends including downsizing, downspeeding, cylinder deactivation, and hybridization. … The vast majority (87%) of gasoline sold in the US in 2013 was regular grade, with 10% premium and 3% midgrade. In their study, Leone et al.
Having better control over the combustion process reduces the emission load on the exhaust aftertreatment systems. Eminox SCRT technology can significantly reduce harmful diesel exhaust gases, particularly in urban operating conditions. The need for this technology is driven by ever tightening legislation.
Dedicated ethanol (or E85) engines have the promise to improve efficiency substantially over comparable regular gasoline engines through direct-injection, increased geometric CR, variable valve timing, exhaust gas recirculation, aggressive turbocharging, and downsizing and/or downspeeding. Xiaoyu Yan, Oliver R. Inderwildi, David A.
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.,
The roll-out of the new engine family—developed in Ruesselsheim, Germany—will begin in early 2013. Achieving these goals enabled vehicle integration that can tune primary engine orders in the induction and exhaust systems to meet specific vehicle objectives. Turbocharging.
Volkswagen has already announced the launch of the latter within the MQB in 2013 in the new Golf Blue-e-Motion.
