Schematic of downsized and supercharged four-stroke hybrid pneumatic spark injection engine. The reduction in fuel consumption is obtained mainly through enabling the effective use of a heavily downsized engine, rather than from regenerative efficiency. The hardware concept.

At 48 volts, a VTES electric supercharger will transform 7kW of battery power into a highly boosted charge of air for downsized gasoline and diesel engines. There will be no torque deficit or other tradeoffs from essential engine downsizing and higher gearing, which now dominates the development of internal combustion engines.

The investment will be made in sixteen proof of concept studies, which will last up to one year, and six longer-running full research and development projects. The small size, multi-fuel capability and potential low cost of the ULRE could also help speed adoption of electric vehicles. Flexible Multiport Converter Technology.
