Particle Reduced, Efficient Gasoline Engines (PaREGEn)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2019,

PaREGEn addresses the short term scope of the GV-02 call via research into and the innovation of gasoline engines for light duty vehicles. Specifically, engines used in mid to premium passenger cars will be addressed. With the electrification smaller vehicles, focusing on larger cars is especially important: the need for clean, efficient & economic engines for inter-urban transport is more urgent ...
