FEV to show 2nd generation diesel High Efficiency Combustion System at 2011 SAE World Congress

Green Car Congress

will exhibit its High Efficiency Combustion System (HECS) diesel engine at the 2011 SAE World Congress, 12-14 April at Cobo Center in Detroit. The second-generation HECS has been adapted to a downsized 1.6L A dual-wall exhaust also reduces heat loss in order to accelerate catalyst light-off during cold starts.

KSPG shows new compact two-cylinder range extender for EVs, variable valve system

Green Car Congress

Automotive supplier KSPG Automotive (formerly Kolbenschmidt Pierburg), a subsidiary of Rheinmetall AG, and FEV have jointly developed a concept for a compact, 30 kW range extender for battery-electric vehicles. The automobile can thus be delivered with or without a range extender and allows for a modular design concept.

SwRI simulations indicate Scuderi split-cycle engine consumes 25% less fuel than comparable conventional engine in Cavalier; 36% reduction with hybrid configuration

Green Car Congress

The Scuderi engine divides the four strokes of a combustion cycle among two paired cylinders—the left cylinder functions as an air compressor, handling intake and compression, while the right cylinder handles combustion and exhaust. With turbocharging, we can have some huge gains, we can downsize the engine and produce very big power.
