Kia unveiled three major hybrid offerings at the Chicago Auto Show: the 2017 Niro Hybrid Utility Vehicle; the new Optima Hybrid; and the new Optima Plug-in Hybrid. Because the high-voltage battery is both power and energy dense, engineers were able to use the downsized gasoline engine to maximize fuel economy and reduce emissions.

By combining High Efficiency Clean Combustion (HECC) and Waste Heat Recovery (WHR), each demonstrating greater than 10% improvement in BTE, together with other technologies, it should be possible to improve BTE by 20% to achieve the original DOE target of 50% peak BTE. Finding 3-1. Finding 6-3. kW versus 3.0 Recommendation 6-4.

Engine downsizing and down-speeding are well suited to take advantage of higher-octane fuels because these engines encounter the knock limit more frequently. Operation under boosted conditions is essential to Co-Optima’s Thrust I effort to maintain acceptable power density for downsized and downsped SI engines.

Several approaches have been implemented to reduce the usage of Pt, such as dispersing the promising candidates for efficient and clean energy conversion. As the limit in downsizing metal morphology, the concept of single-atom catalysts (SACs) has emerged since it maximizes the exposed atom efficiency. 7b02148.
