In a new report, Navigant Research forecasts that total annual global light-duty start-stop vehicle (SSVs) sales will reach 59 million, accounting for 55% of all light duty vehicle sales. This also offers opportunities for other engine efficiencies such as electric boost. —“ Start-Stop Vehicles ”.

Weighing 220 kilograms (485 lb) including all key add-on parts, the V8 is comparatively light. Audi’s principle of downsizing: “ Forced induction replaces displacement ” One twin-scroll turbocharger per cylinder bank compresses the fresh air. The demand-controlled oil pump varies oil pressure in two stages.

A higher compression ratio can be used if an engine will operate primarily at light loads, such that degraded efficiency at high loads is more than offset by improved efficiency at light loads. The compression ratio selected for a particular engine depends, the authors note, on the expected duty cycle and fuel octane. Leone et al.

This has resulted in higher catalyst loading per volume of substrate and led to downsizing of systems from those available in 2010. New substrates are designed with thinner walls or higher porosity, which allows the coating of better catalysts without sacrificing durability.

The global energy supply became 6% cleaner from 1971 to 1990,in response to the oil shocks of the 1970s. Fuel economy levels for new passenger light-duty vehicles LDV vary by up to 55% from country to country, demonstrating enormous scope for improving efficiency through policy. In 1990 the underlying carbon intensity of supply was 57.1

The familiar V6 diesel is available as an option. Maximum torque is available right from low engine speeds and over a broad engine speed range. This downsizing enables lower fuel consumption, accompanied by low emissions and optimum weight. Click to enlarge. The engines attain both a high specific power output and high torque.

For this next-generation design, 70% of the parts have been redesigned, which, along with a downsized oil pump, lower oil level and low viscosity oil results in up to 40% reduction in internal friction (versus the previous design). The information is integrated into the Advanced Drive-Assist Display.
