million grant to develop and to demonstrate a new ultra fuel efficient vehicle (UFEV) vehicle concept. For this reason, GDCI is a good candidate for aggressive downsizing, downspeeding, and boosting, which is a proven strategy for high vehicle-level fuel economy. Earlier post.) These were two main consideration in base engine design.

In fact, the optimized PHEV is much more efficient as a long range liquid fuel vehicle, because the engine is downsized. In addition, the second car will likely be a conventional car burning more fuel and creating more CO 2 per distance traveled than a long range PHEV because of the greatly downsized and more efficient engine in the PHEV.
