A key part of the overall efficiency gain is the downsized 11-liter Volvo engine, featuring advanced fuel injection, cooling, oil and turbo-charging systems, as well as new “wave” pistons and other improvements. This new design added “wave” bumps on the side of the piston bowl, which allows the fuel to burn more cleanly.).

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. Reduced transmission friction thanks to the use of low viscosity oils. 190 N·m), yet its downsized 1,397cc block is more fuel efficient.

In recent years two methods, namely downsizing and downspeeding, were established on the market to reduce CO 2 emissions while maintaining the driving performance of engines with identical effective power but a larger displacement. The exhaust manifold and upstream catalytic converter was replaced by a manifold with a turbocharger flange.

The Freightliner SuperTruck uses a downsized and downsped 10.7-liter liter engine, a hybrid system, a Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) system, along with a number of other upgrades. Friction-reducing measures include a variable speed water pump, a clutched air compressor, low-viscosity oil and an improved cylinder kit. Powertrain.

Another technique introduced in collaboration with BASF is thermoelectric waste heat recovery. The thermal electric generator then converts the wasted heat into useful electrical energy to help power auxiliary systems. The new, downsized 1.0-liter Adaptive aerodynamic features also increase fuel efficiency.

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. Per the regulations, the Mercedes team downsized their internal combustion engine (ICE) to a 1.6 This requires thinner, faster flowing oil.

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.
