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. The OSU EcoCAR prototype vehicle features an extended-range electric architecture with a downsized 1.8L

litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with two electric motors, providing about 100km of EV range as well as the ability to travel further on petrol. All models have dual motors for four-wheel drive capability and the F-150 Lightning sells from about US$50K (minus taxes and on-road costs), which is US$10K more than it launched at.

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.

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. E85 and hydrous ethanol motor fuels are now widely available in the U.S. —Sall et al.

CHP motors are a perfect solution for generating electricity and harnessing otherwise wasted energy for heating, for both primary power and heat generation or for use on an ad hoc basis during power outages. Alongside MJI, this has been the key to increasing efficiency of the new ultra-lean motor. —Mike Bunce. and Blaxill, H.

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.
