CPT/AVL Study: New Generation of Micro-Hybrid Technologies Can Enable More than 25% Reduction in Fuel Consumption at Lower Cost Than Full Hybrid Drive Systems

Green Car Congress

Reductions in fuel consumption and CO 2 from base 2.0-liter liter ELC-Hybrid to downsized 1.4L VTES + SpeedStart. In combination with the VTES electric supercharger, this will create a cost effective micro/mild hybrid system which, when applied to a downsized 1.4-liter Click to enlarge.

Bosch sees future requiring multiple powertrain technologies; the larger the vehicle, the more the electrification

Green Car Congress

Powertrain technologies outlook up to 2020. By 2020, Bosch expects to see new vehicle sales reaching some 110 million units worldwide, with 12 million of them with an electrical powertrain. By 2020, such vehicles will need to be equipped with higher-performance hybrid systems. This reduces fuel consumption by about 5%.

Calls for an international 48V electrical standard for vehicles; looming WLTP implementation

Green Car Congress

The EU goal is to introduce the WLTP by 2017 if possible and no later than 2020 to coincide with the 95 g/km requirement. This means that in addition the power demand is more difficult to achieve with engine downsizing and transmission down-speeding alone. the Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedures (WLTP). The conference.

Renault 2010 Environment Workshop, Part 1: Combustion Engine Technology and Product Plans

Green Car Congress

Renault estimates that electric vehicles will account for 10% of the world market by 2020; even given that aggressive forecast for electric vehicle penetration, 9 out of 10 vehicles will still be powered, at least in part, by a combustion engine. The swept volume inside the cylinder is smaller, so less fuel is consumed during each cycle.

NRC report finds significant number of near-term technologies could greatly reduce fuel consumption in passenger cars

Green Car Congress

According to its estimates, adopting the full combination of improved technologies in medium and large cars and pickup trucks with spark-ignition engines could reduce fuel consumption by 29% at an additional cost of $2,200 to the consumer. Turbocharging and downsizing can also yield fuel consumption reductions.
