GASOLINE SYSTEMS

Boosting and Direct Injection - Synergies for Future Gasoline Engines

To further reduce the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) in order to meet the ACEA (Association des Constructeurs Européens d'Automobiles) target values agreed upon, more intense efforts are required in the areas of engine and drivetrain development by 2008 or 2012. The engines that will lead to that goal will be boosted gasoline engines with a high specific output or torque that will combine driving pleasure and reduced fuel consumption. FEV has thoroughly analyzed this kind of concept and the fundamental synergy effects resulting from the combination of supercharging with direct injection.

DIESEL SYSTEMS

FEV HD 1-Cylinder Research Engine

FEV is offering a single cylinder engine program for basic research, test and development work in a wide range of engineering areas.

NVH & VEHICLE DYNAMICS

Powerful Clean Yet Silent

The design and development of modern internal combustion engines is marked by a reduction in exhaust gas emissions and increase in specific power and torque. Correspondingly, combustion noise excitation and fuel consumption also have to be reduced. These objectives can be achieved through the development of advanced combustion systems, the increased flexibility of fuel injection systems and ECUs.

DESIGN

Developing a Virtual Engine and Transmission Combined with a Modern Geartrain

Simulation Process Simulation tools are an integral part of a modern research and development program to determine the dynamic system response and the component stresses. These investigations are based on the utilization of the latest multi-body and finite-element techniques.

NVH & VEHICLE DYNAMICS

Vehicle Exterior Noise Simulation

Currently, the exterior pass-by noise level during acceleration is the only legal limit in vehicle acoustics. In an effort to further reduce noise emissions, a tightening of limit values and/or procedures is to be expected
