Ricardo to display functional integration prototype of ADEPT 48V “intelligent electrification” diesel

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 9, 2014

Ricardo will display the first functional integration prototype of the Advanced Diesel Electric Powertrain (ADEPT) collaborative research project ( earlier post ) in public for the first time this week at the Low Carbon Vehicle Event (LCV 2014) in the UK. 48V Diesel Fuel Efficiency'

This will be done with a broad range of efficiency-enhancing technologies, including the turbocharging of downsized engines. Plug-in hybrids. Equally, our plug-in hybrid system is debuting in the Porsche Panamera. By the end of 2014, we will already be working on 30 orders related to powertrain electrification.

The engine should yield fuel efficiency gains of more than 50% compared to a downsized, turbo-charged gasoline direct injection engine, while reducing the overall cost of the powertrain system, said Fabien Redon, Vice President, Technology Development at Achates Power.

The total technology cost increment would be between €1,000 and €2,150 [(2014€)], and the fuel cost savings would be on the order of €450 per year. Switching sooner from conventional gasoline and diesel vehicles to plug-in or battery electric vehicles would reduce compliance costs. Peter Mock, Managing Director of ICCT Europe.

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.
