The pumps will be installed in plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) in the Chinese plants of the customer. Especially for today’s downsized gasoline engines, the electric pumps are also useful since they always guarantee an adequate vacuum level, for example for boosting braking power.

Volvo Car Corporation will rely on a powertrain strategy based on its new downsized 4-cylinder VEA (Volvo Environmental Architecture) engine platform ( earlier post ) and hybrids for the US market, said John Maloney, recently appointed President of Volvo Cars, US, in an interview at the Detroit Auto Show.

Furthermore, the ICE can be downsized using a larger but slower turbo to retain power requirement. The combination of hybridization and engine downsizing can increase the total fuel saving up to 20%. Like any e-axle, the TwinMotor can be used as a full 4eWD solution, a two wheel drive EV and a P4 PHEV solution.

The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. (In In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) It is much more than that.

Shift responsiveness has improved through downsizing of the pulley and reduction of inertia by 40%. Within the next five-years to the end of 2023, Toyota aims to have TNGA-based powertrain units installed in approximately 80 percent of Toyota-brand and Lexus-brand vehicles sold annually in Japan, the United States, Europe, and China.

Applications are sought to develop electrochemical energy storage technologies that support commercialization of micro, mild, and full HEVs, PHEVs, and EVs. Because of the ongoing emphasis on downsizing, these engines are expected to have high mechanical compression ratios, which should be considered.
