Continuing to emphasize a downsizing approach, Volkswagen presented two new engines at the at the 30 th Vienna Engine Symposium (7-8 May): the 1.2-liter Downsizing is rigorously being developed in the volume segments with the 1.2 seconds and has a top speed of 190 km/h (118 mph).

Audi’s principle of downsizing: “ Forced induction replaces displacement ” One twin-scroll turbocharger per cylinder bank compresses the fresh air. Because there is no coolant flow at all through the engine, the oil reaches its operating temperature more quickly, shortening the phase in which high frictional losses occur.

The 2016 Sonata Hybrid features a downsized 2.0-liter The transmission has been upgraded significantly since its introduction with the original Sonata Hybrid and now uses an electric oil pump, which helps improve efficiency. Hyundai expects the 2016 Sonata Hybrid to improve fuel economy more than 10%.

This downsizing concept coupled with energy recuperation and stop-start technologies from the Audi modular efficiency platform give them fuel consumption ranging from 3.8 The newly developed four-cylinder exemplifies the Audi’s downsizing strategy of substituting turbocharging for volume. mph) while consuming an average of 3.9

Another positive effect is that the oil pump belonging to the ZF automatic transmission works with a system pressure that has been reduced from 5 to 3.5 Furthermore, the objective was to take the changing vibration behavior of the increasingly economical yet, at the same time, more powerful downsizing units into account.

This downsizing enables lower fuel consumption, accompanied by low emissions and optimum weight. This results in faster heating-up of the oil, therefore minimizing frictional losses after cold starting. Collision Prevention Assist is operational from a speed of approximately 12 mph (19 km/h). 20 mph (32 km/h).

To achieve these results, PureTech development called for a number of changes, chief among which were: Downsizing. The regulated, variable-capacity oil pump continually provides optimal lubrication pressure. Top speed is up 7 mph (11 km/h), and fuel economy is also improved by up to 1.5 Three cylinders. liter unit it replaces.
