Silnik spalinowy wcale nie odchodzi do lamusa

[Gość: Marek]

Wg. dzisiejszego TheCarConnection zmniejszenie zuzycia
paliwa o 20-25% w ciagu najblizszych kilku lat jest
zupelnie mozliwe:

It may be a bit premature to write the internal
combustion’s obituary, several speakers stressed. A “20
to 25 percent improvement in fuel economy is possible”
with technology now under development for the internal
combustion engine, suggested Hazem Ezzat, director of
General Motors’ Powertrain Systems Research Lab. These
include the Displacement-on-Demand system slated to go
into production next year. DoD idles some of an
engine’s cylinders when less power is needed. Other
technologies cited by Ezzat included the Direct
Injection Stratified Charge, as well as dual-clutch
automatically shifting manual transmissions. For his
part, AVL’s Dr. List told the MBS audience that it
actually could be possible to boost fuel economy by 70
percent, especially with increasingly sophisticated
diesel technology.
