All new Auris diesel engines benefit from low compression ratios, optimized combustion chamber dimensions and enhanced Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) cooler efficiency. Dual VVT-i helps boost response levels across the entire rev range by varying the air-fuel intake and exhaust valve timing to suit the conditions at any given time.

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. If anything their low speed performance will be even better, while still delivering very significant fuel economy benefits and CO2 reduction. Micro-mild hybrids.

They have no gas, exhaust, clutch, gears, or spark plugs. The electricity used to drive the vehicle is stored in a large battery, which is charged by plugging the car into a power source, either at home or public charging stations. Range anxiety is essentially the fear of running out of charge while on the road.

No one seems too worried about how much the internal combustion engine (ICE) inside their current greenhouse gas producing car costs as an individual component, or the transmission, or the drive train. The Focus is supposed to get 100 miles to a charge, but Frank is very worried about where people are going to plug in their cars.
