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.

Ford / AVL study concludes mid-level ethanol blend attractive as a long-term future fuel for use in optimized engines in US

Green Car Congress

The team presented a paper on their work at the 2013 SAE World Congress in Detroit. Given the properties of the fuel blend, improved fuel efficiencies can be generated by several approaches, including downsizing/downspeeding; increased compression ratio; reduced enrichment; and the leveraging of improved efficiency at part load.
