Renault’s ongoing downsizing strategy is aimed at reducing the cubic capacity of its engines in order to bring down fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions, without detracting from performance. The downsizing process involved shortening the piston stroke by reducing the size of the crank pin and conrod assembly. Select Engines.

Extreme compression ratio rather than downsizing. Although downsizing—i.e., reducing displacement to improve fuel economy and offsetting the resulting loss of power and torque via charging—is an effective approach to reducing fuel consumption, Mazda has chosen a different route. liter MZR engine.

This downsizing enables lower fuel consumption, accompanied by low emissions and optimum weight. The 4-cylinder Sprinter features a 7-speed automatic transmission with torque converter—the only 7-speed automatic transmission to feature in a van—is refined for maximum fuel economy.

Blending 25-50% of this low-temperature ethanol reformate with ethanol or E85 fuels enables dilute engine operation, resulting in substantial improvements in fuel economy and emissions. High-temperature reformers need to burn a portion of the fuel to maintain their reforming temperatures, thereby generating a fuel-economy penalty.

With the Generation 3 HEV system, Ford decided to downsize the engine from a 2.5L Atkinson to improve fuel economy. The 2012 Fusion Hybrid carries an EPA fuel economy rating of 41 mpg city, 36 mpg highway; Ford expects the upcoming 2013 Fusion Hybrid to offer about 47 mpg city, 44 mpg highway. Atkinson to a 2.0L

The fundamental challenge is to convert as much of the chemical energy in the fuel, into mechanical energy, as efficiently as possible at the prescribed flow rate. The rest of the energy is recovered by the MGU-H (for ‘Heat’); an electrical machine connected to the turbocharger. Conversion efficiency is now the key.
