million to a project to develop a high-efficiency engine system that integrates a compact micro-hybrid configuration of a supercharger with an electric waste heat recovery system and employs high rates of recirculated exhaust gases. If we improve the responsiveness of small engines, then we can push for more efficient cars at low cost.

Turbo boost can be controlled by changing the timing of the exhaust valves—no waste gate is required. In testing, BorgWarner observed fuel consumption improvements of 2% at low speeds to 12% at high speeds with VEMB, according to Thomas. improvement in fuel economy on an E-class vehicle (e.g., Source: Borgwarner.

While fuel savings were measured across all engine speeds, the results indicated that with the improvements of the new TorqStor device in this application, fuel savings of in the region of 10% would be expected for a well-integrated excavator application of this technology, when used at typical operating speeds.

As a reduced cost concept, it aims to make more intelligent use of electrical energy to achieve the desired reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This common core also provides greater confidence in the robustness of prototypes, while minimizing the cost of variants further supports the development of 48V systems.

Governments across the world have been passing laws mandating reductions in fuel consumption and/or carbon emissions. A 10% reduction in vehicle weight offers fuel savings of 5 to 7% (in mpg), provided the vehicle's powertrain is also downsized, Frost & Sullivan notes.

liter units which are part of a new generation of engines from the Kappa family—meet growing demand for small capacity, turbocharged engines to reduce fuel consumption and CO 2 emission without compromising performance. The relocated and re-engineered turbo means throttle response time and low-end torque have improved.
