Turbo boost can be controlled by changing the timing of the exhaust valves—no waste gate is required. Although this reduces the window of operation and fuel economy benefit to 2-4%, it also eliminates vehicle adaptation cost. Total cost of implementation is much less than $10/1%, he said. and Sisson, J.

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.

Key focus areas are: Integration of combustion engines and electric machines to reduce cost and increase utility. Downsizing and downspeeding including more sophisticated charge air/boost systems. Waste heat recovery to shaft power or electricity production. Fuel injection and variable valve & actuation systems. Energy storage.

Thermoelectric materials convert temperature differences into electric voltage; a TEG in a vehicle is designed to convert waste heat to power. As part of the project work, GMZ has also reduced the cost of its HH material compared to the current production material from from $180/kg to $75/kg and has improved the power density from 5.5

Because exhaust-driven reforming uses only waste engine heat, it avoids this efficiency hit, the authors note. 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.
