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. Source: ETH Zürich. Click to enlarge.

liter engines were downsized to 1.6 liters, and environmental technologies such as energy recovery similar to conventional hybrid cars were introduced. However, F1 machines not only regenerate kinetic energy—as do conventional hybrids—but thermal energy as well. Renault’s power unit, earlier post ). Click to enlarge.

outlined its plans for next-generation automotive technology&madsh;which it is labeling “Earth Dreams Technology”—comprising a series of measures to improve the efficiency of gasoline and diesel engines, transmissions, hybrid and plug-in hybrid systems and electric powertrains. By downsizing from the present 2.2L

However, while Mazda plans to offer hybrid vehicles in the medium-term, its engineers are pushing hard to increase the efficiencies of both the gasoline and diesel platforms, moving toward what they call “the ideal Internal Combustion Engine. Extreme compression ratio rather than downsizing. Although downsizing—i.e.,
