SCR systems use a catalyst and an aqueous urea solution commercially known as diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) or AdBlue to reduce NO x to gaseous nitrogen and water. The 21 vehicles from BMW performed especially well over NEDC; despite a 6-fold increase in average emissions over WLTC, they were still better than the overall average over WLTC.

Gunk (carbon deposit) formation on injectors can reduce fuel flow and fuel economy. Gunk has a porous surface that can trap the gasoline that is sprayed by the fuel injector; as a result, the fuel charge does not get in the cylinder at the right time, thus negatively affecting combustion.

The EPA estimates fuel economy to be 13 mpg city/20 highway/16 combined running on 91 octane. It had a surprisingly smooth ride on Southern California’s mostly concrete freeways, which are grooved for water dispersal. The automatic transmission is operated by a pistol-grip shifter sending all that power to the rear wheels.

In this study, BMW focused on Rankine A (exhaust gas only) and Rankine B (exhaust gas and coolant). BMW is exploring two pathways for waste heat recovery in vehicles: one thermoelectric, the other thermodynamic. In the study presented, the BMW team restricted its evaluation to two basic single loop systems. Earlier post.).

ICEVs have been around for a while, and although they’ve had the time to perfect their manufacturing process and we’ve seen increased pressure on the importance of fuel economy and emissions, the thermal efficiency of the average light vehicle engine remains between 20-35%, and we’re not seeing much improvement beyond this.

Federal emissions and fuel economy regulations have been instrumental in encouraging (or coercing) automakers to produce EVs, and to make their legacy vehicles cleaner. The Trump administration attempted to throw this process into reverse by watering down the federal standards. Q&A with former EPA exec Margo Oge.
