Renault held a “2010 Environment Workshop” last week to showcase its progress across its range of vehicles’ full lifecycle through the Renault eco² program. The downsizing process involved shortening the piston stroke by reducing the size of the crank pin and conrod assembly. Low pressure EGR (exhaust gas recirculation).

Using the pressure from the exhaust gas from the active cylinders, the ‘idle’ cylinders could be expanded to extract more work out of the engine during partial load operation. Using the virtual simulation environment GT-Power, this cycle is applied to a 4-cylinder SI engine. de Jong (2019).

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 With this mechanism, Honda strives to provide a stable ride for various driving environments. Diesel engine.

The Trump rollback wasn’t finalized until 2020 and will only apply in 2021 and 2022. The framework is deliberately designed to prevent downsizing , even though manufacturing smaller vehicles is the best strategy for reducing CO2 emissions. If it opts to make smaller vehicles, it will simply be assigned a more difficult fleet target.
