IDTechEx calculates ~31 GWh of electric vehicle markets beyond cars in 2021

Green Car Congress

While electric cars will remain the largest electric vehicle market for the foreseeable future in terms of battery demand and market revenue generation, most transport sectors are facing a transition. There are relatively few strong market drivers for electric vehicles in construction. Electric Vehicles in Construction - 1 GWh.

LiquidPiston unveils 70cc rotary gasoline engine prototype embodying HEHC; power dense, low-vibration

Green Car Congress

The X Mini 70cc rotary gasoline engine. As the engine does not have poppet valves and the gas is fully expanded before the exhaust stroke starts, the engine also has potential to be quiet. Click to enlarge. The rotary engine architecture shows a potential indicated efficiency of 60% and brake efficiency of >50%. —Shkolnik et al.

GM RD Develops and Demonstrates Strontium-Doped Perovskite Catalysts Rivaling Platinum Catalysts for NOx Control in Diesel Exhaust; Lower Cost Could Be a Boost for Diesel

Green Car Congress

Because NO 2 constitutes less than 10% of NO x in the diesel engine-out exhaust, an oxidation catalyst is required to increase the NO 2 fraction. Platinum has been found to be especially active for NO oxidation; thus, Pt-based diesel oxidation (DOC) and LNT catalysts have been widely used for diesel exhaust aftertreatment. Science Vol.

Bosch sees future requiring multiple powertrain technologies; the larger the vehicle, the more the electrification

Green Car Congress

Bosch does not believe there is just one powertrain solution for the future; most of the cars on the world’s roads are still running on diesel and gasoline, and things will stay that way for the rest of the decade, Bohr noted. Only the diesel engine will achieve this in the compact class, but the gasoline engine will come close.

New Federal-Mogul Powertrain high thermal conductivity seats and guides keep engine valves cooler; improved combustion, lower emissions

Green Car Congress

By reducing the valve head temperatures we help to eliminate these issues, and by developing technologies suitable for series production, we are able to support mass market applications. For exhaust valve head alloys, every 20°C reduction in temperature negates the need for an upgrade to the next, more expensive alloy specification.
