Given such market conditions, TDK is currently strengthening its energy unit business, which mainly consists of hardware in power conversion for hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric vehicles, as well as software that controls such hardware as strategic growth products in the medium to long term.

The combination of regulated fuel and emissions reduction, electrification of the powertrain, safety within the powertrain and engine downsizing is placing exponential performance demands on the processors used in control units, Philip Pesses, Freescale Product Manager for Automotive Powertrain, said in a pre-announcement briefing.

Only the shoebox unit—consisting of transverse shell-and-tube design in which banks of parallel, vertical catalyst tubes extended through a transverse stack of exhaust-side heat-exchange plates—exhibited sustained high conversion with low and stable fuel-side pressure throughout a 500 h test period.

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.

In addition, they found that many systems are capable of NO x conversion over a wide temperature range at rates close to those of three-way catalytic converters on gasoline vehicles. Further, as NO x conversion catalysts are improving, so are diesel particulate filters and their methods for regeneration. E-boost and 48V.

converted all vehicle efficiency measurements into vehicle energy efficiency (VEE, km/MJ) based on fuel energy densities reported in each study. This is because the ethanol component may affect the conversion efficiency of the gasoline component in a blend, that is, make an engine more or less efficient in its use of the gasoline component.

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. Conversion efficiency is now the key. Per the regulations, the Mercedes team downsized their internal combustion engine (ICE) to a 1.6

Fuel cells, which directly convert the chemical energy from fuel into electricity, have been recognized as electrocatalysts for PEMFCs. Several approaches have been implemented to reduce the usage of Pt, such as dispersing the promising candidates for efficient and clean energy conversion. The conversion of O 2 to H 2 O is depicted.

Auto plants around the country are in danger of downsizing or shutting down altogether, and helping these facilities to retool for EV production instead makes economic sense. To these ends, the US Department of Energy has established the Domestic Manufacturing Conversion Grant Program. Stellantis will receive $334.8

All diesel engines are fitted with an SCR catalytic converter. In the large Sharan the downsized engine consumes on average 6.4 SCR catalytic converter. All Sharan TDIs are fitted with an oxidation catalytic converter and diesel particulate filter complete with SCR system (Selective Catalytic Reduction). The Sharan 1.4

Conversion to dual overhead cam with dual cam phasing: as applied to overhead valves designed to increase the air flow with more than two valves per cylinder and reduce pumping losses. Turbocharging and downsizing (TRBDS): increases the available airflow and specific power level, allowing a reduced engine size while maintaining performance.

As America downsizes and SUVs go unpurchased, GM’s diehards put inefficient if zero-emission H2/FCV Equinoxes in advertisements and a few dozen driveways to which they remain tethered by unavailable fuel.

There are trucks and buses being converted commercially today. In fact, the optimized PHEV is much more efficient as a long range liquid fuel vehicle, because the engine is downsized. Virtually any car, truck or bus can be made or redesigned as a long-range PHEV. It is only a matter of economics motivated by incentives or taxes.
