The analysis used the Ohio State University EcoCAR, a student prototype PHEV, as the basis for the preliminary fuel economy evaluation. On the other hand, it is well known that in an internal combustion engine up to 35% of the energy developed by the fuel combustion is dissipated in the exhaust gases. —Marcello Canova.

Do they receive HOV access for their improved fuel economy and ultra low emissions? Fuel cells are seen as hitting 1% by 2025; extended range electric vehicles, 3%; and battery-electric vehicles, 4%. The penetration of spark-ignited powertrains in light trucks is projected to drop to 55% in 2025 from 74% in 2016.

The Malibu ECO features GM’s eAssist light electrification technology ( earlier post ), which is engineered to deliver an estimated 26 mpg in city driving and 38 mpg on the highway. The system also shuts down fuel delivery in certain deceleration conditions, further improving fuel economy. Chevrolet Malibu ECO PowerFlow screen.

The intended application is light-, medium-, and heavy-duty markets including hybrid architectures. Fuel impacts on catalyst light-off temperatures. As a general rule, ACI offers high efficiency and reduced particulate and NO x emissions, but is often unstable and is hampered by a limited speed/load range. Earlier post.)

Berube went on to reference the importance of DOE’s major new Co-Optima initiative ( earlier post ), an effort to co-optimize new fuels and light-, medium- and heavy-duty engines which together could achieve very significant performance improvements. This fuel economy improvement is reduced to 3% in comparison to a modern CI (i.e.
