Two concepts need to be kept in mind. Scuderi explained that “Millerizing” the Scuderi split cycle means downsizing the compression cylinder to get the over-expansion technique that is the core of the Miller approach—achieved in a convention engine by using early or late valve closing. Well, the engine processes are not ideal.

ADEPT combines the two technologies, which have been demonstrated individually but not yet as an integrated system, applying the low voltage concept of ‘intelligent electrification’ for the first time to a diesel car. SR machines are ideally suited to this concept of low cost development, while reducing the cost of production components.
