DENSO develops compact EGR cooler for gasoline engines; applied in Prius c

Green Car Congress

The newly developed EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) cooler is 30% smaller than the smallest one currently available on the market, while offering equal performance. This EGR cooler is installed in Toyota’s Camry and Aqua (Prius c). DENSO’s new and compact EGR cooler will greatly help reduce the overall EGR system size.

CPT VTES Electric Supercharger Selected for Two Projects

Green Car Congress

The VTES unit (inset) and installed in the AVL VW Passat demonstrator. When applied to a radically downsized 1.2-liter liter turbocharged engine, VTES delivers in excess of a 50% increase in torque at engine speeds below 3,000rpm, more than compensating for insufficient power from the exhaust turbine. in Click to enlarge.

Hard parts supplier Rheinmetall Automotive expects electrification to account for more than half of sales in 2020

Green Car Congress

If I take a look at the products we currently supply for the purpose of optimizing the drive train on an internal combustion engine and compare these with what we currently have in our development pipeline for future types of drive systems, I arrive at a substantial growth in value.

Bosch sees future requiring multiple powertrain technologies; the larger the vehicle, the more the electrification

Green Car Congress

Even with optimized internal-combustion engines, large vehicles will not achieve the CO 2 target. This will be done with a broad range of efficiency-enhancing technologies, including the turbocharging of downsized engines. Only with turbochargers can engines be downsized, he said, which can potentially offer a 7-8% percent fuel saving.
