When used in combination with a cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system, an Atkinson cycle engine offers significant gains in fuel efficiency and the reduction of emissions. This creates a high expansion ratio for less compression, converting combustion energy to engine power more effectively.

The founders of Google have made personal investments in Tesla as befits dotcom billionaires, and they're converting Priuses to plug-in hybrids for the company fleet with battery maker A123. Toyota’s first Plug-in Prius to Use NiMH Toyota is postponing its Lithium Priuses and rolling out a few NiMH plug-in Priuses for testing purposes.

CO 2 emissions are 74 grams per kilometer in the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle). Moreover, because it is fully integrated into the vehicle’s converter housing, the clutch does not take up any additional space. Combined with the CO 2 bonus for the battery-electric driving mode, the vehicle achieves a certified consumption of 3.2

Paradox 1 - Soot: There's an apparent emissions paradox with plug-in hybrids (PHEV): Driving longer distances on battery power means more cold starts as the internal combustion engine (ICE) stops and starts up again after the batteries deplete. Third-party and DIY converters can't muck with every system on a car.
