The objective of POWERFUl was to design engines for light-duty urban and micro-urban vehicles (segment A and B), capable of reducing CO 2 and criteria pollutant emissions. The researchers of the UPV proved its potential for reducing pollutant emissions and fuel consumption compared to the four-stroke version currently available on the market.

It, or a scaled-up version, could also provide a solution for the Asian motor vehicle fleet, in which two-stroke engine vehicles constitute a major share—and contribute significantly to air pollution. A gross indicated thermal efficiency of 45% and engine-out, cycle-weighted indicated specific NO x emissions of 1 g/kWh are targeted.

Last year, researchers designed low-cost, 3-D-printed, one-quarter scale versions of the boats, which were more efficient and agile, and came equipped with advanced trajectory-tracking algorithms. Self-driving technologies can save time, costs and energy, and improve the city moving forward.

Engineers at GM’s R&D Center are developing a new low-cost concept for NO x control from lean-burn spark ignition direct injection (SIDI) engines: passive ammonia SCR. Each has drawbacks, noted GM’s Wei Li in a presentation at the recent Department of Energy DEER conference in Dearborn, Michigan. Lean-burn (i.e.,

This costs around $40 billion a year, equal to around 1% of average annual energy sector investment. It also brings major health benefits through reductions in indoor air pollution, cutting the number of premature deaths by 2.5 million a year. It was requested as input to the negotiations by the UK government’s COP26 Presidency.
