DSD to reveal low cost 48V e-drive architecture concepts at CTI Symposium

Green Car Congress

Driveline engineering specialist Drive System Design (DSD) will introduce a new 48V e-drive systems concept for mild hybrid vehicles at the 9 th International CTI Symposium later this month. There is a natural limit with 48V of ~15kW per machine so a modular concept makes the lower voltage system more attractive.

Researchers in POWERFUL develop new two-stroke diesel featuring low consumption and low criteria emissions

Green Car Congress

The objective of POWERFUl was to design engines for light-duty urban and micro-urban vehicles (segment A and B), capable of reducing CO 2 and criteria pollutant emissions. The engine has been designed for small vehicles such as the Renault Twingo, in which it has been applied. Benajes, R. Novella, D. Benajes, J., Novella, R.,

DOE to award Thar Energy $9.4M to help advance more efficient supercritical-CO2-based power cycles

Green Car Congress

The selected project is designed to apply focused research and development to produce scalable, cost-effective recuperator technologies suitable for future deployment in large-scale SCO 2 power cycle applications. These recuperators help increase the overall efficiency of the cycle by limiting heat rejection from the cycle.
