As another method to avoid pumping losses and improve efficiency, Thomas described a low-cost virtual cylinder deactivation technology that delivers 90% of the fuel economy benefit of a full mechanical cylinder deactivation system. Total cost of implementation is much less than $10/1%, he said. —Christopher Thomas.

This common core also provides greater confidence in the robustness of prototypes, while minimizing the cost of variants further supports the development of 48V systems. SR machines are ideally suited to this concept of low cost development, while reducing the cost of production components. —Nick Pascoe.

However, they add, this benefit comes at the cost of a substantial design complication: the reformer must serve as both a reactor and a heat exchanger between the fuel and the exhaust stream. A low-cost, low-weight, compact design capable of being packaged in a vehicle exhaust train. —Sall et al. Sall, David A.

Among their general findings are: Increasing battery power in plug-in hybrids (10-, 20- and 40-mile AER, from low to high power) had little effect on fuel consumption results because the battery power can provide most of the driving on the test cycles, so the fuel economy only differs slightly. —Brooker et al. Brooker, A.; Thornton, M.;

It offers the solution to several significant transitions we need: moving society from burning fossil fuels to substituting renewable resource fuels such as solar, wind and biofuels; and from using fossil materials as fuel to using them for other recyclable uses. It is much more than that.
