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.

The i-flow is a test bed for new energy harvesting ideas, ranging from flexible solar panel roofing to a thermo-electric generator. Another technique introduced in collaboration with BASF is thermoelectric waste heat recovery. The new, downsized 1.0-liter The new, downsized 1.0-liter liter Kappa gasoline and 1.7-liter

Though the PHEV combines the two types of energy and power, it is not merely a temporary “transition” between gasoline and diesel cars to pure electric cars. It solves the storage problems faced by the electric utility companies in absorbing and adapting to the highly variable power and energy generated by solar and wind. slow charge.

A paper on their work is published in the ACS journal Energy & Fuels. Because exhaust-driven reforming uses only waste engine heat, it avoids this efficiency hit, the authors note.

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. Energy Recovery Systems (ERS). The rest of the energy is recovered by the MGU-H (for ‘Heat’); an electrical machine connected to the turbocharger.

HEV - The current generation of production Hybrids are 100% gas fueled vehicles with a few EV tricks like Regen Braking and no wasteful Idling. What changes do we make to convert a gasoline-only hybrid to a Plug-In Hybrid? Our goal: Get car makers to build Bettah PHEVs than we can convert ourselves. See SEVA:Electric vehicle.

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. The new Cascada mid-size convertible is the first Opel model available with the new engine.
