GDI technology provides fuel efficiency benefits from charge air cooling, more facile turbocharging, and the downsizing that these permit. Still, the study found, the lowest emitting stoichiometric GDI vehicle exceeded the diesel Euro 5 limit (6×10 11 #/km) by more than 100%. Source: MECA, Ford Motor Company. Click to enlarge.

The presence of low-speed pre-ignition is considered a major impediment to automobile manufacturers’ efforts to aggressively downsize engines to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The causes of low-speed pre-ignition events are not completely understood. We are already seeing concepts developed in HEDGE I enter production. —Dr.

The new engine will achieve high efficiency using the Atkinson Cycle with an 18:1 compression ratio, combined with aggressive engine downsizing. Valve events will also be adjusted with the VVA to trap more air in the cylinders when power is needed. Engine downsizing is a key tool in improving fuel economy. Earlier post.).

The global energy supply became 6% cleaner from 1971 to 1990,in response to the oil shocks of the 1970s. Engine downsizing and weight reduction represent around 30% of that potential collectively. Vehicle downsizing has enabled considerable efficiency improvements, particularly in OECD regions and since 2005. tCO 2 /TJ (2.39

In the event of slippage it instantaneously engages a hydraulic power supply to transfer extra torque to the wheel with the most traction by modulating the differential from fully open to fully locked, and anywhere in between, depending on driving conditions. The system comprises a deactivation rocker arm and oil control valve.
