Downsizing a gasoline engine (e.g., AVL reasoned that merging turbocharged GDI with a mild hybrid function can result in excellent driveability even with the combination of strong downsizing and downspeeding. In addition, it plans to evaluate electric driving after changing the electrical storage module to a Li-ion battery pack.
