This concept system is expected to be ideal for heavily downsized applications and developing markets. A combination of injector design, configurable pump layout and advanced air and fuel control strategies has provided a highly-flexible, modular solution for engines between 7- and 16-liters displacement.

Therefore, Bohr said, Bosch aims to develop lithium-ion batteries that will at least double the range of current electric vehicles and at half the cost per kilowatt-hour. In order to further reduce its CO 2 emissions in this vehicle class, the gasoline engine will require a low-cost, basic hybrid solution.

The low-temperature ethanol-reforming pathway, catalyzed by copper-nickel powder catalysts, transforms ethanol into a mixture of H 2 , CO, and CH 4 at temperatures between 300 and 350 °C. High-temperature reformers need to burn a portion of the fuel to maintain their reforming temperatures, thereby generating a fuel-economy penalty.

High-research octane number (RON) fuels are known to enable more efficient, higher-performance SI operation via engine downsizing and boosting. Many biofuel blending components exhibit high RON and can be introduced into the market in the near- to medium-term for engines optimized to operate on those fuels.

The new engine comes with an electronically-controlled waste-gate to optimize flow and improve low-end torque and throttle response. It uses a new split-cooling concept to manage different temperatures in the cylinder head and block area. Up to 15 kg of gas can be stored in the tank at 200 bar pressure.

Among their general findings are: Increasing battery power in plug-in hybrids (10-, 20- and 40-mile AER, from low to high power) had little effect on fuel consumption results because the battery power can provide most of the driving on the test cycles, so the fuel economy only differs slightly.
