This system allows for a 70 % reduction in energy loss compared to internal combustion cars and accounts for 40 % of
fuel efficiency improvement of hybrid vehicles.
For the compact and mid-size classes, in addition to the reductions in size and weight, transmission efficiency was greatly improved by expanding the ratio range to
achieve fuel efficiency improvements of 5 % and 10 % compared to the conventional CVT and comparable 5ATs, respectively.
This is especially important to the automotive sector, both consumer and commercial, where reducing an automobile's weight by 10 percent yields a 6 to 8
percent fuel efficiency improvement, according to DOE.
Toyota achieves
dramatic fuel efficiency improvements by adopting Flex Lock - Up control, applying the H - infinity control theory to an industrial product for the first time in the world and establishing the core technology for improving fuel efficiency
In 2009, a historic agreement between the Federal Government, state regulators, and the auto industry established a national program to implement these first meaningful
fuel efficiency improvements in over 30 years and the first - ever global warming pollution standards for light - duty vehicles.
In 2011, the agencies completed the first phase of heavy - duty vehicle regulations to run from 2014 through 2018, which will largely incentivize the use of known technologies to produce a 15 percent
fleetwide fuel efficiency improvement.
Toyota achieves dramatic
fuel efficiency improvements through its Intelligent Idling Stop System developed by adding an electronic oil pump to the K210 belt - type CVT, ensuring excellent startup performance during engine restarts and producing class - leading fuel efficiency
Production commenced of the K111, a belt - type CVT, which, with the addition of neutral - gear control and acceleration linear control to a K110 CVT base,
furthers fuel efficiency improvement and high powertrain performance
By 2014, the new V - 6 is expected to account for more than a third of the powertrains in the vehicle line - up and substantially contribute to an overall
corporate fuel efficiency improvement of more than 25 percent.
«The Yukon Hybrid's 25 - percent
composite fuel efficiency improvement highlights GM's commitment to save as much fuel as possible by applying hybrid technology to the highest fuel - consuming vehicles first
The Audi Q5 Hybrid is an example of how the company is keeping its focus on luxury and performance, while integrating slow
steady fuel efficiency improvements, which, by the way, come with the package.
Green Car Congress brings us more details on this cutting - edge aviation research from the UK that could lead to significant
airplane fuel efficiency improvements in the medium to short term:
Chrysler expects to deliver across - the - board V - 6
fuel efficiency improvement of six to eight percent in addition to new levels of V - 6 power and performance.
While the dimples help reduce aerodynamic drag on the tire, the fins generate air flow that pushes the car forward by increasing the air pressure in the front side of a wheel wells, thus making it possible to contribute to
fuel efficiency improvement by reducing aerodynamic drag on vehicles.
Toyota achieves
dramatic fuel efficiency improvements with the world's first mild hybrid system, which was developed by adding an electronic oil pump to the A340E 4 - speed automatic transmission
There's better control of detonation, as part of
the fuel efficiency improvements.
Scheduled for release this fall, the 2013 Accord Coupe Concept offers a variety of new safety features, powertrain technologies,
fuel efficiency improvements and other enhancements that will appeal to long - time Honda lovers, and may also turn some new heads with its muscular re-design.
The Pentastar delivers
a fuel efficiency improvement of up to 8 % on average when compared with previous Chrysler Group V - 6 engines and delivers 90 % of its available torque from 1800 - 6400 rpm.
The new 3.5 - liter engine is the first in a series of EcoBoost engines coming from Ford as part of a strategy for wider deployment of
fuel efficiency improvements.
The petrol trim comes with
a fuel efficiency improvement of over 9 % with a certified fuel efficiency of 20.85 kmpl *.
The end result is an expected across - the - board V - 6
fuel efficiency improvement of six to eight percent — in addition to new levels of V - 6 power, performance and refinement.»
The new nine - speed automatic offers
a fuel efficiency improvement of up to 2 % compared to a six - speed transmission.
The fuel efficiency improvement of the BlueEFFICIENCY models over the normal versions with the same engines is 5 percent.
This reduces emergency braking distance and contributes to
fuel efficiency improvement, auto component downsizing and price competitiveness of cars.
Here, fuel economies described in mpg are portrayed as if the emissions standards were accomplished entirely by
fuel efficiency improvements.
