A key part of the overall efficiency gain is the downsized 11-liter Volvo engine, featuring advanced fuel injection, cooling, oil and turbo-charging systems, as well as new “wave” pistons and other improvements. This new design added “wave” bumps on the side of the piston bowl, which allows the fuel to burn more cleanly.). for the D13.

The Ricardo-led Advanced Diesel Electric Powertrain (ADEPT) project will apply 48V “intelligent electrification” concepts, mild hybridization and waste heat recovery in a Ford Focus diesel demonstrator. ADEPT will also use a carbon-enhanced capacitive lead-acid battery, offering a high power-to-weight ratio.

The successful application of the technologies would allow a global vehicle manufacturer to reduce its in-use carbon footprint of a typical vehicle by 50g/km—a 30% reduction on today’s baseline. There is a continual drive within the auto industry for low carbon vehicle technologies. SpeedStart.

Governments across the world have been passing laws mandating reductions in fuel consumption and/or carbon emissions. A 10% reduction in vehicle weight offers fuel savings of 5 to 7% (in mpg), provided the vehicle's powertrain is also downsized, Frost & Sullivan notes. —Frost & Sullivan Senior Research Analyst Sandeepan Mondal.

In recent years two methods, namely downsizing and downspeeding, were established on the market to reduce CO 2 emissions while maintaining the driving performance of engines with identical effective power but a larger displacement. Starting out from the original engine application (variant I) the carbon-dioxide emissions are lowered by 1.9%

Independent on-engine test results have verified the simulation predictions that a Torotrak V-Charge variable drive mechanical supercharger enables more ambitious levels of engine downsizing. Next generation downsizing and downspeeding remain the industry’s best near-term solutions for reducing carbon emissions.

Engines running on liquid air (or liquid nitrogen, which is already widely available) are zero emissions at the point of use, and can be zero carbon depending on the source of electricity used to make it. Ambient or low grade waste heat is used as an energy source with the cryogen providing both the working fluid and heat sink.

Renault’s ongoing downsizing strategy is aimed at reducing the cubic capacity of its engines in order to bring down fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions, without detracting from performance. The downsizing process involved shortening the piston stroke by reducing the size of the crank pin and conrod assembly. Select Engines.

Hyundai is also displaying the diesel i40 48V hybrid concept, featuring a lead-carbon battery. The new engine comes with an electronically-controlled waste-gate to optimize flow and improve low-end torque and throttle response. In addition, the lead-carbon battery is almost completely recyclable at the end of its lifecycle.

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. To restore balance we must protect the oxygen-producing biomass of Earth and reduce the amount of carbon emissions. For an extended discussion see Appendix C).
