The engine down - sizing strategy of the brand with the four rings has
reduced the fuel consumption of the S6 by as much as 25 percent whilst offering sportier driving performance.
The product of a decade of research, this patented system for opening and closing valves could
significantly reduce fuel consumption in everything from ocean - going ships to compact cars.
The relatively weak gasoline engine is assisted by the electric motor during rapid acceleration or hill climbing, allowing
for reduced fuel consumption while still providing a safe and useful amount of performance.
Other new technology includes nano - surfaced cylinder liners,
which reduce fuel consumption, and help to protect the engine from heat build up at high speed.
The concept could improve internal combustion engines in several areas, reducing weight but
also reducing fuel consumption by a significant margin, improving refinement and increasing performance.
This new technology improves air flow around the front wheels, enhancing aerodynamic efficiency and
reducing fuel consumption at higher speeds.
Because it is powered electrically - which cuts weight and eliminates the need for an oil pump - the steering
system reduces fuel consumption by 3 percent to 5 percent.
That way, it can modify the transmission strategy to deliver the best driving experience for the road ahead while at the same
time reducing fuel consumption.
The system gives the driver tips and ideas — relevant to the driving situation at hand — on how to
reduce fuel consumption even further through adjustments in personal driving style.
The unit's electric standby
feature reduces fuel consumption and emissions and enables rolling warehouse applications so products can be stored on the truck for later sale.
The lower engine
speed reduces fuel consumption, while a new torque converter design enhances refinement, particularly during low - speed gear changes.
Improving the aerodynamics of a tractor - trailer with devices like side skirts could
reduce fuel consumption by up to 12 percent.
This achieved a number of goals; improving vehicle dynamics
while reducing fuel consumption, as well as enhancing safety and raising levels of comfort in comparison with earlier vehicles.
The higher top gear not
only reduces fuel consumption but the lower engine revs improve comfort and reduce noise when cruising at a sustained speed.
Injected with even greater efficiency and other far - reaching powertrain innovations, the John Cooper Works models are now equipped with the twin - scroll turbo engine that develops the same levels of output and torque as its predecessor with
substantially reduced fuel consumption and emissions.
Also, advanced powertrains, like hybrid - electric and hybrid - hydraulic systems, can further
reduce fuel consumption during acceleration while increasing the lifetime of brakes.
