In implementing this 50% downsizing by swept volume, the research team delivered zero degradation in driveability, performance or acceleration. Earlier post.). The HyBoost concept is based on a 2009 Ford Focus in which a 2.0L naturally aspirated four-cylinder gasoline engine has been replaced with a 1.0L three-cylinder EcoBoost engine.

Researchers at the University of California, Riverside’s Bourns College of Engineering have used waste glass bottles and a low-cost chemical process to fabricate nanosilicon anodes for high-performance lithium-ion batteries. Coating the silicon nanoparticles with carbon to improve their stability and energy storage properties.

This investment is part of our ongoing strategy to put the UK at the forefront of low carbon vehicle technology. We are funding innovative projects in a number of key areas which include internal combustion engine technologies, energy storage and management, lightweight structures and new propulsion technologies.

The technology can also be applied to medium and heavy duty commercial vehicle platforms. Potentially this low-voltage technology combination could be applied to something approaching 50 million vehicles per year, CPT said.

Applications are sought to develop electrochemical energy storage technologies that support commercialization of micro, mild, and full HEVs, PHEVs, and EVs. Because of the ongoing emphasis on downsizing, these engines are expected to have high mechanical compression ratios, which should be considered.

Another strikingly different concept evidenced by the PHEV is that it is essentially a large, portable battery that can store energy gathered during one part of the day, and then use it later to power not only itself but also the vehicle owner’s home. There are trucks and buses being converted commercially today.

This is from "Commercializing Plug-In Hybrids" (pdf), the current CalCars 24-slide presentation about PHEVs available along with other documents at CalCars Downloads. The F6 DM uses ferrous batteries, with no lithium content, that BYD says are high-energy density and low cost. By partnering with these two industries.
