Use of a variable compression ratio (VCR) could be one technology approach to reducing fuel consumption in highly boosted (e.g., downsized, turbocharged) gasoline engine, as operating an engine with higher compression ratios at low load can increase fuel economy compared to operating an engine with fixed compression ratio.

BCG comparison of the CO 2 reduction potential and cost of different technologies. Within advanced ICE technologies, engine downsizing, turbocharging, optimized cooling, low friction, start-stop systems, electric power steering, direct injection, and variable valve timing will likely lead.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which stewards the RFS, had repeatedly downsized the targets by nearly 25 percent. Because that’s really the comparison that you care about.”. Meanwhile, agriculture industry lobbyists fought just as hard against those reductions.). By the mid-2010s, the U.S. In 2016, a U.S. says Nunes.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. Conclusions. slow charge.
