Volvo Car Corporation will rely on a powertrain strategy based on its new downsized 4-cylinder VEA (Volvo Environmental Architecture) engine platform ( earlier post ) and hybrids for the US market, said John Maloney, recently appointed President of Volvo Cars, US, in an interview at the Detroit Auto Show.

mpg US) (99 g/km CO 2 )—more efficient than any previous Golf with a gasoline engine. Despite its efficiency, the Golf TSI BlueMotion with the 85 kW / 114 hp downsized 999 cc EA211-series engine reaches 100 km/h in 9.7 l/100 km (52 mpg). l/100 km (51 mpg). liter, 3-cylinder with low fuel consumption of 4.3
GM has made three product commitments for 2017 related to its sustainability strategy: to have 500,000 vehicles on the road in the US with some form of electrification ( earlier post ); to double the number of US models that can achieve an EPA-estimated 40 mpg US (5.9 Earlier post.). Earlier post.).
liter engine option has a targeted fuel economy of 27 mpg city / 38 mpg highway / 31 mpg combined (8.7, Fuel economy for the V6-equipped model is expected to be 22 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, 25 mpg combined (10.7, The 2013 Altima equipped with the 4-cylinder, 2.5-liter L/100 km, respectively).
Honda has set a new Guinness World Records title for “Lowest fuel consumption – all 24 contiguous EU countries (all cars)”, recording an average 83 mpg US (2.82 In addition, lighter pistons and connection rods were used. l/100 km) over 8,387 miles (13,498 km), in a 25-day drive across all 24 EU contiguous countries. Earlier post.)
With the Generation 3 HEV system, Ford decided to downsize the engine from a 2.5L 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 Atkinson to improve fuel economy.
mpg and 250 g CO 2 /km for model year 2016. mpg if the automotive industry were to meet this CO 2 level just through fuel economy improvements.) ( Earlier post.). Turbocharging and downsizing (TRBDS): increases the available airflow and specific power level, allowing a reduced engine size while maintaining performance.
Our hybrid controller connects to the CAN; our controller is read-only. XLH engineers have already designed the next-generation release, in which the battery pack is downsized to 1.5 OEMs can get higher mpg improvements by using different architectures. We listen to CAN, collect signals. kWh, Ashton said. Both the 2.0
Working with BMW, BorgWarner combined two advanced turbocharging technologies—regulated two-stage (R2S) and variable turbine geometry (VTG)— to accelerate BMW’s engine downsizing strategy without compromising power and torque. BorgWarner’s R2S turbocharging system consists of two series-connected turbochargers.
DeCicco’s analysis shows that optimizing internal combustion engines plus rising adoption of grid-free hybrids will enable new fleet fuel economy (unadjusted) to reach 52 mpg (4.52 L/100km) by 2025 and 74 mpg (3.18 Adjusted on-road fuel economy correspondingly would be 41 mpg (5.74 L/100km) and 60 mpg (3.92
Plug-in hybrids dominate market penetration in 2025 under CAR scenario IV (62 mpg CAFE standard). CAR did not assume any downsizing of the vehicle sales fleet or significant reduction in performance by vehicles in any segment as a means for increasing fuel economy standards by 2025. The 47 mpg target is equivalent to a 70.9%
L/100 km (35 mpg US) with 158 g CO 2 /km. L/100 km (39 mpg US), with less than 140 g of CO 2 /km. Its connection to gearbox, pipes and peripherals requires no additional device, as well as its integration into vehicles, which remains conventional. The four-cylinder 1.5L Fuel consumption on the NEDC is 6.7 MCE-5 moving parts.
3 B-Cycle gasoline engine is the first example of Volkswagen’s “Rightsizing” strategy—an engine development strategy that looks to for the optimal balance of displacement, output, torque and efficiency based on vehicle class and real-world operating conditions, rather than just seeking to downsize. Third, the EA888 2.0TSI Gen.3
of torque at 4,000 rpm, with a targeted combined fuel economy of 28 mpg with front-wheel drive. A multi-disc and individually controlled hydraulic channel torque converter improves responsiveness by expanding the direct connection band, while a downsized oil pump and double ball bearings minimize frictional losses.
Operational flexibility is also improved with fast recharge capability using a plug-in connection, as well as options for en-route charging when a pantograph or charge plate infrastructure is available. liter engine is downsized by about 50% in terms of displacement and can achieve up to 10 mpg, significantly lowering the carbon footprint.
liter engine, with high-efficiency combustion, cooled EGR and an optimized ITMS cooling system, features 187 horsepower at 6,100 rpm and 178 lb-ft (241 N·m) of torque at 4,000 rpm, with an EPA-estimated combined fuel economy of 29 mpg with front-wheel drive and 26 mpg with all-wheel drive. The new Smartstream 2.5-liter
l/100 km (47 mpg US). In the large Sharan the downsized engine consumes on average 6.4 mpg US, 154 g/km CO 2 ). mpg US, equating to 167 g/km CO 2 ). mpg US, CO 2 emission: 136 g/km). l/100 km (42 mpg US, equating to 146 g/km CO 2 ). more fuel efficient; the most efficient model consumes 5.0 l/100 km (36.8
l/100 km (39 mpg US) with 158 g CO 2 /km) and has a range of up to 1,500 kilometers (932 miles) when equipped with an optional larger tank (93 liters vs. the standard 70 liters, the latter good for 1,150 km or 715 miles). The two turbochargers are connected in series, and each has a turbine and a compressor driven by this turbine.
Di Turbo Jet E5 drive torque is comparable to the one of an aspirated V6 engine which is almost twice its displacement, according to Fiat, but with significant efficiency gains through the downsizing. liters per 100 km (30 mpg US), 185 g CO 2 /km and a Euro 5 homologation.

The front end’s compact package was made possible through the consistent downsizing of all F-CELL components. The Li-ion traction battery is cooled via a separate cooling water loop connected to the research vehicle’s climate control system to ensure that the battery is cooled within an optimal temperature window.
The competition against PHEVs in 2030 is likely to incorporate a radically downsized, boosted direct-injection engine; an automated manual or 7-8 speed automatic transmission; advanced tires with C R at 0.006 or below; a 30% weight reduction on the glider; advanced aerodynamics with C D of 0.22
mpg US); CO 2 emissions are 127 g/km (204 g/mile). Downsizing entails the replacement of engine displacement with turbocharging. The crankshaft’s main bearings and connecting-rod bearings are 42 mm (1.65 Audi has introduced a new low-displacement turbocharged gasoline engine in the A3 model line. Earlier post.) L/100km (42.8
l/100 km (59 mpg US ). liter class which are engineered to meet customer demand for strong, downsized engine performance. SIDI Turbo also delivers a 20% improvement in fuel economy compared to the 1.6-liter liter engine. SIDI Turbo is the first in a new, modular family of three- and four-cylinder gasoline engines in the sub-1.6-liter
"However," he continued, "If carmakers decide not to take advantage of this offer, AFS Trinity intends to raise the funds to begin modifying existing hybrids or manufacture its own 150 mpg SUVs and, eventually, 250 mpg sedans. Toyota is also concerned that plug-in owners might tire of connecting their cars every day.
Focused on meeting a growing customer demand for ‘downsized’ engines offering strong power with reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, the new gasoline and diesel powertrains are being progressively introduced across the Opel product range. mpg US) and 109 g/km CO 2. Opel—in which GM has said it will invest €4 billion (US$5.3
