Among the fundamental factors affecting emissions of internal combustion engines is resistance to motion acting on car. This an important factor be taken into account when testing cars in conditions simulated a chassis dynamometer. The dependence driving function vehicle speed determined basis various methods, most frequently used which so-called alternative method specified procedures for type...

Refrigeration or cooling technology is increasing, especially regarding the coolant, almost all new vehicles now use air conditioning to condition in vehicle cabin, but there are still many aspects that currently have not been paid much attention, compressors, compressors for rely on engine as a direct driver which makes fuel consumption more wasteful and reduces performance of vehicle. The pur...

Car-sharing services are developing at an ever-increasing pace. Taking into account the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and pursuit sustainable development transport, implementing electric cars in car-sharing fleets is being proposed. On one hand, these types vehicles referred to as emission-free, but on other their environmental friendliness questionable due emission during production en...

Towards Integrated Powertrain Control for a Mild-Hybrid Urban Vehicle with a Downsized Turbo-Charged CNG Engine — Compressed natural gas (CNG) is considered as one of the most promising alternative fuels for transportation due to its ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (CO2, in particular) and its abundance. An earlier study from IFP has shown that CNG has a considerable potential when u...
