Cobra could enable a 5–10% reduction in CO 2 emissions when implemented in conjunction with engine downsizing and down speeding strategies, and potentially more when used in conjunction with alternative fuels, according to CPT. The design specification provides a peak shaft power of 5.6 —CPT program manager Andy Dickinson.

Ford is focused on lightweighting as a key enabling technology for lowering fuel consumption in combustion-engined vehicles (ICE) and for extending the range—and the size—of battery electric vehicles (EVs). Taking the displacement down gets you on a percentage basis the best fuel economy value versus other technologies.

High-research octane number (RON) fuels are known to enable more efficient, higher-performance SI operation via engine downsizing and boosting. In addition, already-efficient conventional compression ignition (CI) engines can realize fuel economy increases enabled by improved, low GHG-intensity fuels.

Key elements of this new design include: Rotor profile changes to reduce the clearance between the rotors reducing internal leakage; Modifying the twist of the rotors to shift the peak efficiency to a location that improves overall fuel economy; and. Adding new porting features that eliminate unnecessary compression of air.

Traditionally, this has been challenging but this combustion process results in ultra low emissions and has been achieved over a wide range of engine operating conditions, even from cold start. The automotive industry, including Lotus Engineering, has quite rightly advocated engine downsizing for four-stroke engines.

Ford’s turbocharged, gasoline direct injection EcoBoost engines are targeted to play a significant near-term role in Ford’s efforts to reduce fuel consumption by enabling downsizing. V6 engine (the Duratec D35 EcoBoost) delivers up to 12% better fuel economy and 15% lower emissions with comparable torque and power as a 5.4L

In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) The PHEV does not require the heavy, costly batteries required by other electric cars, nor does it suffer from a limited range or poor freeway performance. It offers a range of elegant solutions to a number of problems.
