Switchable water pump or electrically controlled thermostat
After treatment system
SCR system will be in multiple locations and the total size will be larger
Urea injection will be multi-point injection.
DPF would not need active regeneration any more, only passive type would be enough.
Electrically heated catalyst could be used for cold start emission.
Combustion system
With enhanced SCR system, engine developmint could be focused only on better thermal efficiency and on reducing PM, no longer on reducing NOx emission as before.
Compression ratio would be raised to around 18 from current 15~16.
EGR would be used limitedly or the system even may be deleted.
High swirl would be required less than before, therefore port could be optimized for more flow.
Electrification
48V mild hybrid system will used.(P0~P2)
EHC could be effective by 48V system
Fuel Economy Analysis
Principle of Energy Flow-Down Method
To improve fuel economy of your car, understanding of engine + T / M + vehicle interaction and control strategy (ECU, TCU) are very Important
Benets of Energy Flow-Down Method
Energy Flow-Down Method can analyze the fuel consumption and contribution of each component and ECU / TCU control data through systematic approach.
Client can have the whole view for the quantitative fuel consumption and contribution of each component.
Client can recognize the weak and strong points against target vehicle.
Client can understand how top maker optimizes every component and control data to improve fuel economy.
Client can make catch-up plan of short, mid, long term in the most efcient cost.
