Another first - in - segment application is an automatic temperature controller inside the engine, which helps
improve fuel efficiency by reducing unnecessary heat loss.
The technology will
further improve fuel efficiency by automatically stopping fuel delivery and valve operation for one of the engine's cylinders in conditions where full capacity is not needed.
The brake calipers are designed to reduce brake drag when not in use, reducing rolling resistance and
improving fuel efficiency in the process.
This reduced fuel consumption in situations like bumper - to - bumper traffic, or when stopped at a traffic light, can drastically
improve fuel efficiency over the long run.
What is more, new engine and transmission technologies could enable manufacturers to
improve fuel efficiency without significantly cutting vehicle weights.
Like a gas - electric hybrid, it uses a lithium ion battery to assist the fuel cell during acceleration and capture energy through regenerative braking,
thus improving fuel efficiency.
Delphi's 48 - volt mild - hybrid system, which seamlessly stops and starts at red lights, adds about $ 1,000 to the cost of the 1.8 TSI Passat drivetrain,
while improving fuel efficiency by roughly 13 percent.
The engines will be heavily based on the Atkinson burning cycle — an advanced type of engine design
which improves fuel efficiency by keeping the intake valves open briefly during the compression stroke.
The new 3.6 - liter «Pentastar» V6 engine
improves fuel efficiency up to 21 miles per gallon, while delivering 285 - hp and 260 lb - ft of torque.
Helping broaden the powerband while
simultaneously improving fuel efficiency of the latest 3.7 L V - 6 is a new 2 - rocker arm design VTEC ® (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) system applied to the intake valves.
The 3.6 L V6 engine features new eight - speed automatic transmission, with paddle - shift steering wheel controls and the new Eco
Mode improves fuel efficiency by 9 % and allows you to t
For example, I have voted to
improve fuel efficiency standards for vehicles, to provide communities with funding to expand public transportation, to provide tax credits to expand the use of wind and solar technologies, as well as expanding access to grants and tax credits for homeowners to weatherize their homes and purchase more fuel efficient vehicles.
«Living up to the «Overland» name, each Jeep Cherokee Overland 4 × 4 model comes equipped with the Jeep Active Drive II 4 × 4 system, which includes a two - speed power transfer unit, low range and an industry - first disconnecting rear axle for
improved fuel efficiency when 4 × 4 capability isn't needed.
Ford says only that the EcoBoost V - 6 will make more power and torque than the 6.2 - liter V - 8 in the outgoing Raptor, which packed 411 hp and 434 lb - ft, while also
returning improved fuel efficiency.
