Trucks represent the fastest growing source of global oil demand. They account for 40% of the expected increase in oil demand to 2050 and 15% of the increase in global CO 2 emissions. Trucks will even surpass passenger cars as the major oil consumers. It is critical that these standards include heavy freight trucks.

Combined fuel economy (mpg). The 6-speed AT features a high-voltage electric oil pump for improved efficiency. The Sonata PHEV is perfectly capable of handling (legal) Interstate speeds on battery pack alone; however, such operation depletes the battery relatively quickly. Engine power (kW).

Likewise, as in the previous engine, the oil pump is positioned next to the crankshaft, which facilitates installation in various vehicle architectures. The stepped combustion bowl has a positive effect on the combustion process, the thermal loading of critical areas of the pistons and the ingress of soot into the engine oil.

A 10% reduction in vehicle weight can result in a 6%-8% fuel economy improvement. Carbon fiber components played a large role with a CF structural oil pan saving 30%; a CF front cover with mount saving 30%; and a carbon fiber plus aluminum cam carrier saving 20%. This will be street legal, but that’s it. [It]

The reinvigoration of the body of interrelated federal and state fuel economy and emissions regulations will have major implications for the auto industry and the environment. That has been probably the biggest hurdle—not the biggest engineering hurdle, but the biggest legal hurdle. You better have some steel. That’s huge.
