Future RDE emissions legislation and fleet average CO 2 targets represent a challenge for automakers wishing to provide cost-effective light duty diesel vehicles. Solutions were also tested on an engine dyno, providing steady-state test results to help understand the mechanisms involved, and provide input data for the simulation.

According to its estimates, adopting the full combination of improved technologies in medium and large cars and pickup trucks with spark-ignition engines could reduce fuel consumption by 29% at an additional cost of $2,200 to the consumer. Turbocharging and downsizing can also yield fuel consumption reductions.

However, they add, this benefit comes at the cost of a substantial design complication: the reformer must serve as both a reactor and a heat exchanger between the fuel and the exhaust stream. High-temperature reformers need to burn a portion of the fuel to maintain their reforming temperatures, thereby generating a fuel-economy penalty.

The new gearbox could enable manufacturers to downsize EVs’ electric motors, keeping them running longer at the medium loads and speeds where peak efficiency of more than 95% is possible. You can use that 10 percent to improve EVs’ range or reduce the size, weight and cost of battery packs. —Bill Martin, Zeroshift’s managing director.
