Fiesta features Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) ( earlier post ) which allows the engine to be downsized for fuel economy while continuously optimizing camshaft phasing for throttle response, performance and flexibility. The block, cylinder head and oil pan—traditionally the heaviest engine components—are aluminum castings.

The resulting higher BMEP levels allow downsizing of the engine at equivalent vehicle performance. Furthermore, by enabling higher CR, downsizing and downspeeding, E85 DI + gasoline PFI makes the engine more efficient in itsusee of gasoline. Earlier post.)

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to employ outdated mileage formulas (55 city 45 highway) that do not accurately represent consumers driving habits and dramatically tilts manufacturers into producing electric-vehicle solutions. Monetary incentives are being used to alter consumer and manufacturer decisions.

In comparison, they noted, the technology for bio-chemical ethanol production from cellulosic biomass is not sufficiently developed yet. Methanol first surfaced as a potentially interesting transportation fuel in the wake of the oil crisis in 1973. Large scale production of methanol from natural gas and coal is a well-developed.

3 B-Cycle gasoline engine is the first example of Volkswagen’s “Rightsizing” strategy—an engine development strategy that looks to for the optimal balance of displacement, output, torque and efficiency based on vehicle class and real-world operating conditions, rather than just seeking to downsize. By comparison, the 2017 Tiguan with 2.0L

On 15 Sep, NHTSA and the US EPA proposed a joint rulemaking on fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions for light duty vehicles: an average new car 34.1 The 250 g/mile of CO 2 equivalent emissions limit by EPA is equivalent to 35.5 This reduces pumping losses at lighter loads in comparison to a larger engine.
