• The Combustion Research Facility group has continued its studies, focusing largely on low-temperature combustion diesel, which many researchers believe could lead to a new generation of cleaner heavy-duty and light-duty diesel engines that may not require costly, complex exhaust aftertreatment systems.

 

• In the diagram below, characteristics of the conventional diesel combustion process are compared to those of low-temperature combustion.

 • With the launch of this second engine (the first being the Energy TCe 115), the Energy TCe family marks a fresh development in Renault’s petrol engine strategy and is expected to account for 85% of the brand’s petrol engine sales in Europe by 2015.  

 • This engine delivers 90 hp at 5,000 rpm and torque of 135 Nm available across a broad rev-band, delivering smooth response from low engine speeds.

 • Its fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are slashed by 25 % (in NEDC combined cycle) compared to the engine it replaces.

 • Engineering engines for optimum efficiency is more important to automakers than ever before, as fuel economy and emissions regulations intensify.

 • Fiat’s production Multiair system proves a combination af advanced engine technologies can improve overall engine efficiency, particularly in reducing pomping loss.

• DSM together its automotive component specialist partner KACO has taken an important step in improving fuel efficiency in cars.
• The two companies have developed a lightweight multi-functional crankshaft cover in EcoPAXX, a bio-based PA 410 from DSM, for the latest generation of diesel engine developed by VW Group.
• This part incorporates integral seals in PTFE and LSR, as well as metal inserts.
• Compared with covers made of aluminium, its cost is strongly lower, thanks to an integrated, fully automated production cell for the component at KACO.
