The Volvo Car Corporation is introducing a new, downsized engine range consisting solely of four-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. It covers the range from high-power and -torque variants to fuel-efficient derivatives. Modularity and compact transverse design are also ideal for future electrification developments.

The new timing chain is designed to reduce friction, resulting in as much as 0.3 improvement in fuel economy based on customer testing. BorgWarner will produce the new low-friction engine timing chains for a variety of 0.66- to 2.0-liter liter gasoline engines for vehicles in Japan, China and Korea.

Improving battery power to such as level would further enable hybridization to near-HEV levels as well as engine downsizing, thereby enabling fuel economy improvements beyond the current 10-15% MHEV limit. Finally, partial hybridization using the 48V powertrain may be integrated to improve fuel economy.

Federal-Mogul Corporation has developed a lightweight, high-strength aluminium piston that enables engine manufacturers to increase the power density and efficiency of boosted, direct injected gasoline engines. Specific power outputs in engines are likely to increase from current levels of around 95 kW/L to 130 kW/L to coming years.
