Of the energy output of fuel in a car engine, 33% is spent in exhaust, 29% in cooling and 38% in mechanical energy, of which friction losses account for 33% and air resistance for 5%. A reduction of 10% in driving speed, e.g. from 110 km/h to 100 km/h (68 mph to 62 mph), translates into a 16% saving in fuel consumption.

Here’s what two organizations— Resource-Media and Recurrent —had to say about the advantages of electric vehicles (EVs) in frigid weather. Also, gas vehicles must be started and preheated outdoors due to health risks from the exhaust, and gas vehicle emissions contribute to air pollution. Electric vehicles are popular in cold climates.

The company’s engineers have a prototype system running in a B-segment donor vehicle on a dynamometer and are calibrating the control strategy to prove its driveability, performance, CO 2 and fuel economy benefits. At the same time, Torotrak will gather data on the system’s efficiency to validate fuel economy simulations.

The new turbo engine and a leaner architecture that reduces up to 250 pounds (113 kg) also contribute to the new Cruze’s stronger performance, with expected 0-60-mph acceleration of eight seconds. Dual-overhead-cam cylinder head with integrated exhaust manifold saves weight to enhance performance and efficiency. Refinement details.

In this study, BMW focused on Rankine A (exhaust gas only) and Rankine B (exhaust gas and coolant). Researchers at Loughborough University and the University of Sussex, both in the UK, also have concluded that using waste heat from light-duty vehicle engines in a steam power cycle could deliver fuel economy advantages of between 6.3%

The intake ports that feed the combustion chambers, as well as the D-shaped exhaust ports, are designed for excellent high-rpm airflow. The exhaust ports are also designed for greater flow. Under other conditions, the phaser adjusts to deliver optimal valve timing for performance, drivability and fuel economy. Click to enlarge.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The car can refuel during periods of low demand on the grid, and if equipped with a bi-directional charger, can actually replenish the grid with excess energy gleaned from a renewable resource. It is much more than that.
