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. Automating the manual transmission, for example with the eClutch.

To this end, it is anticipated that the industry will begin moving from 12-volt battery systems to 48-volt systems. Regional highlights include: In North America, more engine downsizing is expected. The current average engine size is a 3.0-liter liter six-cylinder.

liter turbocharged gasoline engine has a combination water-cooled cylinder head, integrated exhaust manifold and twin-scroll turbocharger. To minimize turbo lag, the four-into-two exhaust manifold system pairs cylinders according to their expansion or compression stroke to reduce pumping losses and eliminate exhaust gas interference.

It now includes variable valve timing on both exhaust and intake camshafts, and the new intake system opens the valves at a higher rpm to help keep the torque curve flat. The Altima offers a choice of a redesigned 2.5-liter liter DOHC inline 4-cylinder engine or 3.5-liter liter QR25 engine has been redesigned to be lighter and more efficient.

The combination of electronics, advanced battery technology and charging techniques ensures the system can deliver the required rapid charge and discharge performance, while at all times maintaining a stable 12 volts to the vehicle’s main electrical system. A final key element of the RegEnBoost concept is the TIGERS turbo-generator.

To keep the engine unit as small as possible, the exhaust manifold is integrated within the cylinder head and can therefore be cooled efficiently using the cylinder head water cooling system. liter T-GDI engine incorporates a high-pressure single-scroll turbocharger integrated within the exhaust manifold to improve operational efficiency.

Cylinder deactivation: deactivates the intake and exhaust valves and prevents fuel injection into some cylinders during light-load operation. Variable valve timing: alters the timing or phase of the intake valve, exhaust valve, or both, primarily to reduce pumping losses, increase specific power, and control residual gases.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. It is alarming to see comparisons of the Chevrolet Volt PHEV with battery electric cars when the comparison focuses only on the electric range and ignores the other important differences. by Professor Andrew Alfonso Frank.
