Audi first introduced an A3 Sportback g-tron in 2014. Its turbocharger with variable turbine geometry makes optimal use of the exhaust gas energy for early and harmonious torque development. They are made of fiber-composite materials and, in keeping with Audi’s lightweight construction philosophy, each weighs just 26 kilograms (57.3

A liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery—developed by A123 Systems in cooperation with Porsche—temporarily stores converted braking energy from the front axle as well as converted exhaust-gas energy. The experience gained during the first season in 2014 sharpened the view for the delicacy of the aerodynamics.

In 2014, it will not be the fastest car that wins the World Endurance Championship series and the 24 hours of Le Mans, rather it will be the car that goes the furthest with a defined amount of energy. The first system is the innovative recovery of thermal energy by an electric generator powered by exhaust gases. Click to enlarge.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. It solves the storage problems faced by the electric utility companies in absorbing and adapting to the highly variable power and energy generated by solar and wind. Distributed Solar and Wind with the PHEV.

Alternatively they can serve as buffers for renewables such as wind and solar power—whether as part of the grid or as home installations. Because the exhaust system transports only water, it can be made of lightweight polymer. An outer skin made from carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) encases the inner aluminum shell.
