The analysis used the Ohio State University EcoCAR, a student prototype PHEV, as the basis for the preliminary fuel economy evaluation. Internal combustion engines have been significantly improving in the past decade, after the adoption of technologies such as Gasoline Direct Injection, mild electrification, downsizing and turbocharging.

Traditionally, this has been challenging but this combustion process results in ultra low emissions and has been achieved over a wide range of engine operating conditions, even from cold start. Emissions results are 20 ppm NO x at less than 2.3 bar load and has four-stroke-equivalent hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide emissions.

Essential to this is the recognition that current fuels available in the marketplace constrain engine efficiency and limit the potential fuel economy and greenhouse gas improvements available across the light, medium, and heavy duty transportation fleet. Simulation of fuel and engine parameter impacts on efficiency and emissions.

This downsizing enables lower fuel consumption, accompanied by low emissions and optimum weight. A combination of exhaust gas recirculation with two-stage cooling and the SCR technology with AdBlue injection for the BlueTEC engines and a particulate filter delivers clean exhaust emissions.

The resulting higher BMEP levels allow downsizing of the engine at equivalent vehicle performance. The vehicle owner will realize high fuel economy because gasoline, with its greater eating value per volume, is the fuel that is primarily used for most driving modes. Earlier post.) Stein et al.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. Since it can operate on 100% biofuel, it is the means for achieving new goals recently set for reducing the use of fossil fuels and cutting the net emission of CO 2 to zero. by Professor Andrew Alfonso Frank.
