HyBoost concept achieving close to Prius-level CO2 emissions; aggressive downsizing with advanced boosting and micro-hybrid system

Green Car Congress

NOVEMBER 1, 2011

HyBoost achieves this by combining aggressive 50% downsizing of the engine with an electric supercharger for transient low-speed performance, and a micro-hybrid stop-start and energy recuperation systems, Boggs said.

The C 180 (115 kW) with manual transmission was taken as the base variant of the new C-Class at market launch for the lifecycle analysis; it was compared with the corresponding preceding model. It was not possible, however, to achieve the very good figure shown by the preceding model at the time of market exit, Mercedes-Benz said.

At 48 volts, a VTES electric supercharger will transform 7kW of battery power into a highly boosted charge of air for downsized gasoline and diesel engines. The torque response of these future VTES equipped vehicles will be equivalent to the best mass market vehicles on the road today. —Guy Morris.

There is no strong advocacy for methanol (unlike ethanol) as a transportation fuel; therefore, they said, it has been displaced by ethanol as oxygenate of choice in gasoline blends. The toxicity (mortality) is comparable to or better than gasoline. The optimal approaches are different in different countries and in different markets.

Renault estimates that electric vehicles will account for 10% of the world market by 2020; even given that aggressive forecast for electric vehicle penetration, 9 out of 10 vehicles will still be powered, at least in part, by a combustion engine. Downsizing alone results in a saving of 6%compared with the engine it replaces.
