Platooning promises to increase fuel efficiency up to 10%, improve road safety and reduce exhaust emissions. NXP Semiconductors N.V. seconds between trucks.
To conduct this exhaustive analysis, our engine development colleagues combed through more than 750,000 pages of documentation. So far, the KBA has issued the Company with seven notices for mandatory software updates in connection with the diesel crisis. These apply to a total of around 240,000 vehicles worldwide.
Exhaust gas values were also greatly improved by the use of electrofuels. Since the tests of engine efficiency and exhaust gas values of all sources reviewed were conducted in test engines that had not been optimized for the used fuel, further potentials regarding emission reduction and the optimization of engine efficiency are expected.
XL Hybrids’s XLP plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) upfit solution ( earlier post ) will roll out on Ford F-150 pickup trucks beginning fourth quarter 2017. The XLP technology leaves the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) engine, transmission, fuel system and exhaust system completely intact.
In other words, of the energy available in a gallon of gasoline, a third is lost as waste heat, another third disappears out of the exhaust with only the remaining third available for useful work. Equally, we recover kinetic energy under braking, through another electric motor connected to the battery. —Prof.
Chrysler unveiled the all-new 2017 Pacifica minivan in both conventional and plug-in hybrid versions at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. For added fuel efficiency, engine stop-start (ESS) technology is a standard feature on the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica (late availability). system with an 8.4-inch
On 1 September 2017, new emissions regulations for passenger vehicles come into force in the EU and Switzerland. The new regulations for passenger vehicles contain three main changes: The outdated measuring technique will be replaced; Exhaust emissions will have to be determined in addition while driving on the roads; and. Image: Empa.
As part of the SCR technology, exhaust stream emissions were dosed with a mist of a urea substance, commonly known as “AdBlue,” which converted NO x into nitrogen, water, and small amounts of carbon dioxide. The dosing strategy varied injection levels of AdBlue into the exhaust system depending on whether the vehicle was being tested.
The drive unit consists of 250 components including the fuel cell stack and the cooling, fuel and exhaust systems plus the electronics. The fuel cell systems are assembled in the Kirchheim-Nabern location, an annex of the Mercedes-Benz plant in Untertürkheim, which has been producing the drive systems for the pre-series vehicles since 2017.

The new six-cylinder in-line engine comes with an intelligent form of turbocharging: assisted by the ISG at start-off, the electric auxiliary compressor (eZV) guarantees immediate high torque when driving off and accelerating, bridging the time before the large exhaust turbocharger cuts in. Almost imperceptible restart of the engine.
At the 2017 Geneva International Motor Show, Audi is presenting the Audi Q8 sport concept, a new performance-oriented take on the Q8 concept study introduced at the 2017 Detroit Motor Show. The electric powered compressor supports the turbochargers at times when the exhaust gas is insufficient for rapid development of power.
The Federal and state governments also expect the manufacturers to use self-financed competitive measures to provide incentives for the change of pre-Euro-5 diesel vehicles to vehicles with the latest exhaust gas aftertreatment or electric vehicles. The German KBA will also test exhaust emissions even with approved vehicles.
In the future, one layer could be attached to something hot like a car exhaust or a computer motor and another to a surface at room temperature. The smooth connection between the metal and semiconductor enables electricity to travel through the multilayered device with almost 100 percent efficiency. —Yi Gu. 7b01089.
Air drawn into the micro turbine is passed through a heat exchanger where heat from the exhaust air is transferred to the cold intake air, and compressed before it is ignited. As this hot exhaust gas is expelled, it passes through the heat exchanger to ensure the heat energy is recuperated and transferred to cold intake air.
Fees that respond to traffic volumes in real time and with site precision, taking into account factors such as vehicle type and exhaust emissions, can significantly improve traffic flow and contribute to reducing air pollution, they suggest. This would contribute to avoiding traffic jams and protecting the environment, the researchers argue.
At the 2017 Geneva Motor Show the brand presented the potential of its new technologies in the form of the Audi Q8 sport concept showcar. A heavy-duty V-ribbed belt connects it to the crankshaft. The 12-volt system is connected to the main electrical system via a DC/DC converter. Earlier post.)
The 48-volt system is fed by a belt alternator starter (BAS) connected to the engine’s crankshaft by the belt drive. Its exhaust end lies inside the 90° vee, so the short gas paths and the twin scroll charger promote responsiveness. On the diesel, AVS operates one exhaust valve in each cylinder. through 99.4
In 2015, Volkswagen was accused of deliberately installing exhaust cheating software that only turned on in laboratory conditions, and its products produced 40 times the emissions under real driving conditions than laboratory conditions. In order to seek a settlement, Volkswagen signed an agreement with the U.S.
At the back, the Alltrack sports dark-red taillights and a new bumper that is highlighted by dominant silver underbody protection, matching the style of the side sills and incorporating chrome exhaust outlets on either side. App-Connect can be used free-of-charge and is not included as part of the subscription-based services.
Furthermore, two engineers from the US technical center gave presentations last week at the SAE 2017 Hybrid & Electric Vehicle Technologies Symposium in San Diego, discussing aspects of the hybrid and battery-electric powertrains, including some of the unique features and Hyundai “firsts” represented in the Ioniq. Plug-in hybrid.
With the e-tron services in the Audi connect portfolio, drivers can use their smartphones to control such functions as charging and heating or cooling. Audi connect, which is also standard, connects the Q7 e-tron quattro to the internet via the fast LTE standard. Market launch is scheduled to begin in 2017.
