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.

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. The exhaust gas can reach temperatures greater than 900 °C, whereas the turbine upper functional limit is 850 °C.

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.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. There are trucks and buses being converted commercially today. The convenience and low cost of this concept alone merit attention. by Professor Andrew Alfonso Frank. CTO Efficient Drivetrains Inc.
