Magnetic Pulse Welding Process To Decrease Vehicle Weight and Increase Fuel Efficiency
Looking forward in 1995, automobile manufacturers identified a potential shift in customer preferences to lighter weight, fuel-efficient automobiles; fuel-cell powered cars; and hybrid gas/electric vehicles. To make existing cars more fuel efficient and to meet the coming needs of alternatively powered vehicles, automobile original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) needed lighter components. These...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental study of modern fiber metal laminate panels used in auto body to reduce vehicle weight
automobile body plays crucial role in preventing the collision energy transfer in severe accidents to the passengers. if the collision energy is dissipated or saved in bumper or chassis, the amount of damage to the occupants would be minimized. using novel laminated panel (fiber metal laminate) in auto body, and considering the characteristics such as high energy absorption, strength, high dent...
متن کاملComparison of Hybrid Fuel Cell Vehicle Technology and Fuel Efficiency
Hybridization of fuel cells with additional batteries or ultracapacitors in a fuel cell vehicle reduces electrical and mechanical stresses on fuel cells and improves the overall drive train efficiency over a standard drive cycle. This paper primarily analyzes hybrid fuel cell vehicles with different drive train arrangements, and compares projected fuel economies of hybrid fuel cell vehicles wit...
متن کاملFuel Efficiency and Motor Vehicle Travel: The Declining Rebound Effect
We estimate the rebound effect for motor vehicles, by which improved fuel efficiency causes additional travel, using a pooled cross section of US states for 1966-2001. Our model accounts for endogenous changes in fuel efficiency, distinguishes between autocorrelation and lagged effects, includes a measure of the stringency of fuel-economy standards, and allows the rebound effect to vary with in...
متن کاملAchieving Vehicle Fuel Efficiency: The CAFE Standards and Beyond
As a series of political objectives converge and call for enhanced domestic automobile fuel efficiency, it is time to reassess the United States Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards and compare future options for limiting gasoline consumption. Unlike the situation in 1975 when CAFE standards were first imposed to limit America’s oil dependence, now the greatest motive is to curb gree...
