New Delphi 500+ bar GDi system cuts particulates by up to 50% without engine changes

Green Car Congress

Building off its 350 bar GDi (Gasoline Direct Injection) system, Delphi Technologies has developed a 500+ bar GDi system that can reduce particulate emissions by up to 50% without expensive engine re-designs for the majority of applications. The solution is a new, high-efficiency pump designed by Delphi Technologies.

Penn State team develops thermally modulated LFP battery; fast-charging, inexpensive, long-life for mass-market EVs

Green Car Congress

Such a thermally modulated LFP battery—designed to operate at a working temperature around 60?°C The very fast charge allows us to downsize the battery without incurring range anxiety. Once the battery’s internal temperature is 60 ?C, C for charge and discharge, and then cool down when the battery is not working.
