VW’s 1.0 TSI in the new up! GTI wins International Engine of the Year 2018 award in its category; Euro 6d-TEMP

Green Car Congress

Exhaust gas after-treatment paired with innovative features inside the engine enables the GTI engine to meet the new EU 6AG (Euro 6d-TEMP) emission standard. As a comparison point, in 1976, the first Golf GTI delivered 140 N·m at 5,000 rpm.) It also comes with a gasoline particulate filter. The 85 kW / 115 PS 1.0 TSI in the up!

liter diesel, prominently showing the closely attached exhaust aftertreatment system. For example, depending on the emission requirements, 3 different types of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR ) can be used: cooled high-pressure EGR without low-pressure EGR; cooled low-pressure EGR without high-pressure EGR; or. The EA288 2.0-liter

Even for consumer light-duty vehicles, particularly larger size passenger vehicles, limited access to charging infrastructure and/or the substantial recharge time may drive continued demand for alternatives. However, the scale of biofuels is limited by their environmental footprint, considering the land and water usage. Zhao et al.

Ricardo and Univ. of Brighton working on advanced combustion system for heavy-duty vehicles; CoolR features recuperated split-cycle with isothermal compression using cryogenic injection

Green Car Congress

The recuperated engine uses isothermal compression via cryogenic injection to enable significant exhaust to compressed gas heat transfer. Recuperator to transfer heat from exhaust gas to compressed air. A recuperated combustion engine transfers exhaust heat to the working gas at the end of compression and at constant volume.

Power delivery and torque build-up occur very spontaneously and without delay: as in Formula 1, the electric support of the exhaust gas turbocharger eliminates the turbo lag of the combustion engine, while at the same time the electric drive pushes powerfully from a standstill. Charging is via the 3.7 It ensures the highest level of safety.

The cost effectiveness of this approach is further underscored by its impact on lean NO x trap (LNT) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) aftertreatment systems, which have less raw NOx emissions to process, potentially allowing for a reduction in exhaust system cost and complexity, and a longer service life. —Paul Bloore.
