As part of its efforts to go green, Volkswagen is placing a clear emphasis on downsizing as it proved with two new engines at the 30 th Vienna Engine Symposium. Both engines show how Volkswagen reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and fuel consumption. It meets the EU5 exhaust emission standard.

The particular areas of interest would be: the implications of extreme engine downsizing and increased specific power; tolerance to increasing volumes of exhaust gas recirculation; advanced component designs and new material applications; a drive towards thinner, lower viscosity lubricants; and the chemical impacts of lubricants on biofuel dilution.

However, there are also significant efficiency gains through the downsizing. The engine uses a new generation turbocharger connected to a pulse converter type exhaust which optimises the use of exhaust pressure waves to increment the driving torque at low speeds.

A new project has set the ambitious goal of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 30-40 per cent. Known as the HyBoost project, this two-year research programme announced recently by the Technology Strategy Board, aims to demonstrate a cost-effective, ultra-efficient petrol engine in a C-segment passenger car.

With increasingly stringent limits on emissions from new vehicles due to come into force in the EU over the decade, the time is right to push carbon-reducing technologies forward. This month the team has expanded to include Paul Dickinson and Jack Mullett – and is to embark on the next phase of the research, funded by the Carbon Trust.

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.

The more efficient combustion engine technologies, with their enabling of downsizing, come in compatibly with hybridization, with hybridization and electrification playing a larger role over time. The further downsized next-generation technologies can be very synergistic within hybrid applications. Planning background.
