-
Active engine systems such
as; Variable compression ratio; Variable capacity; Variable
geometry intake systems; VVT.
-
Alternative Fuels; LPG
(Liquefied Petroleum Gas); CNG (Compressed Natural Gas);
Hydrogen; Vegetable oil based fuels.
-
Hybrid Drive; Hybrid
vehicles use a mixture of electric and engine propulsion;
Unlimited range due to IC engine operation; More flexible
than pure electric vehicle; Less pollution; Zero emissions
when on battery power; IC engine runs under optimised
combustion conditions; Better fuel efficiency; IC engine
able to operate at near maximum efficiency.
-
HCCI
(Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition) is seen as the
next generation combustion technology, and is under research
and development by most of the major OEM’s. Powertrain
Technologies are at the forefront of Variable Compression
(VCR) technology which is seen as the key to success of
HCCI, and thus are heavily involved in HCCI development
with various OEM’s and Universities.
