Engine Waste Heat Recovery and Re-Use (NOWASTE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

The reduction of CO2 emissions from road vehicles is a strategic goal of the EU, and heavy duty vehicles are required to contribute to this objective in a significant way.One very promising solution is the re-use of the waste heat, which represents approx. the 60% of the combustion energy, by transforming it into mechanical or electrical energy thus increasing the overall vehicle energy efficiency ...

Coordination Action on PPP Implementation for Road-Transport Electrification (CAPIRE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

"The Coordination Action CAPIRE will prepare and support the realization of a Public Private Partnership (PPP) sustaining and putting into practice the European Green Cars Initiative. Its activities will be focussed on two major fields: a careful consideration of options for the aims, shape, and implementation paths a PPP, and the identification of technology roadblocks and the respective research ...

Optimised Modular Range Extender for every day customer usage (OPTIMORE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

"Worldwide, there is a strong trend towards highly efficient, low (preferably zero) emission vehicles, i.e. electrical vehicles. In order to facilitate the transition from conventional fuel-driven vehicles towards electrically driven vehicles, there is a short(er) term need for advanced electrical vehicles with range extenders and/or advanced plug-in hybrids.For this purpose, highly efficient, com ...

POWERtrain for FUture Light-duty vehicles (POWERFUL)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

"The Project aims to develop new powertrain concepts able to give a substantial contribution to the achievement of a 50% CO2 reduction (based on 2005 figures) for passenger cars and light-duty vehicles for the new vehicle fleet in 2020. In particular, the research target on spark ignited (SI) engines powered vehicles is to achieve 40% lower CO2 emissions with respect to the 2005 values and 20% low ...

Large-Eddy and System Simulation to predict Cyclic Combustion Variability in gasoline engines (LESSCCV)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

"The objective of LESSCCV is to exploit the recent possibilities of engine computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools to fundamentally improve the understanding of cyclic combustion variability (CCV) in gasoline engines under real operating conditions, and to provide adequate modelling. Multi-scale CFD tools, able to study in detail the sources of CCV in full engines, will be developed. These tools ...
