The successful market implementation of these materials in vehicles requires that they be low cost and available in sufficient abundance to make a compelling business case. For this reason the focus of this AOI includes the development of low-cost approaches to the manufacturing of both magnesium and carbon fiber.

Unlike crankshaft-driven superchargers and exhaust-gas-driven turbochargers, an electric supercharger is mechanically decoupled from the engine, meaning it can deliver the air almost instantaneously into the engine—spinning up to 70,000 rpm in less than a third of a second. Micro-mild hybrids.

The new engine comes with an electronically-controlled waste-gate to optimize flow and improve low-end torque and throttle response. To keep the engine unit as small as possible, the exhaust manifold is integrated within the cylinder head and can therefore be cooled efficiently using the cylinder head water cooling system.
