“The internal-combustion engine will continue to play a major role in the future of personal mobility, and will contribute to the protection of the world’s climate and the conservation of our limited fossil-fuel reserves,” says Dr. Marcus Heyn, Executive Vice President Passenger Cars in the Bosch Diesel Systems division. The global market for new vehicles will grow from its present level of 71 million to 103 million in 2020. Of this figure,...

Following intensive research and engineering development, Ricardo has today announced a breakthrough in its revolutionary Kinergy hermetically sealed high-speed flywheel energy storage device. A significant improvement in the magnetic coupling and gearing system has now taken its efficiency to better than that of a conventional geared drive, consolidating Kinergy’s position as perhaps the most promising high speed flywheel concept currently ava...

A new business has been established in the UK to help connect technology developers to international vehicle manufacturers and their tier 1 suppliers. This initiative by Productiv Limited, which has been created to take new technology into production, will provide wide ranging support to small and medium sized enterprises, helping to industrialise emerging low carbon technologies.

Bosch has engine management systems and injection components that are tailor-made for the use of alternative fuels. These allow spark-ignition engines to run on natural gas or mixtures of ethanol and gasoline. Such fuels allow a significant reduction in carbon-dioxide emissions. In addition, using them helps to conserve the earth’s petroleum reserves.

Delphi Automotive is supplying innovative technologies to a significant number of new vehicles introduced at this year's IAA Frankfurt Motor Show. From diesel and gasoline engine management systems to active safety technology and thermal innovations to electrical/electronic distribution systems, Delphi is working to help drivers stay safe and remain connected while lessening the environmental impact of the vehicle they drive.

A project led by advanced battery manufacturer Axeon and co-funded by the Technology Strategy Board has been successful in developing a new battery for use in electric cars that offers over a 35% improvement in range compared to existing technologies, for the same weight.

The low carbon vehicle specialist Controlled Power Technologies is developing a 48 volt version of its electric supercharger based on its variable torque enhancement system known as VTES. The more powerful higher voltage variant will support moves by European vehicle manufacturers announced earlier this year to introduce 48 volt passenger vehicle power networks to help meet the requirement for lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

A world-leading team of UK engineers has been charged with developing a new motor for electric vehicles that will significantly reduce our future dependency on rare earth metals.

Lysanda’s Eco-Log software, which cuts vehicle fuel consumption by up to 20% and reduces carbon emissions, moves toward delivering unique solutions to the vehicle breakdown and insurance markets with “Pay As You Drive” technology.
