Cutting the Cost of Real-World Emissions Testing

‘High realism’ software means vehicle manufacturers can use driving simulators to validate real-world emissions performance before building prototypesHertfordshire, UK, 25th August 2016 ... Vehicle dynamics simulation software could cut the cost for vehicle manufacturers of meeting the new RDE (real driving emissions) tests. The software, developed by rFpro for DIL (driver in the loop) simulators, creates such a high level of realism (immersion) that drivers behave in a representative way, giving manufacturers confidence in a car’s emissions performance long before prototype testing can

Approaching deadline for CAFE review drives new approach to meeting economy targets

Fuel consumption pressures in US stimulate demand for efficiency improvement in transmissions and drivelinesDetroit, Michigan, USA, 18thJune 2015 – Automotive engineering consultancy, Drive System Design (DSD), believes the 2017 mid-term review of future CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) targets is already stimulating demand in the US for greater efficiency in transmissions and drivelines. The company’s US office reports growing interest from both OEMs and Tier1 suppliers, as incremental improvements in engine efficiency become harder to achieve and manufacturers look more widely for

Consortium led by Intelligent Energy to deliver zero-emission range-extended light commercial vehicles for fleets

 New class of range-extended electric vehicle (EV) using hydrogen fuel cell technology  Consortium members drawn from recognised driveline technology and vehicle integration specialists as well as large fleet users  Three-year programme supported by £6.3m funding from APC (Advanced Propulsion Centre), a government industry partnership that aims to position the UK as a global centre of excellence for low carbon powertrain development and production  Intelligent Energy, the energy technology group, will lead a UK industry consortium that is to develop a new class of zero-

Research by UK consultancy could reduce weight of vehicle transmissions

Growing pressure to reduce vehicle CO2 emissions means lighter solutions must be foundLeamington Spa, UK, 10th December 2014 – new research by UK automotive engineering consultancy, Drive System Design (DSD), suggests the next breakthrough in CO2 emissions reduction will come from more aggressive weight reduction in major powertrain components. Extensive analysis by the company has identified both near-term and medium-term solutions for the manufacture of items such as transmission casings using advanced composite materials, but favours modern hybrid materials over conventional carbon

Millers Oils launches cost-effective solution to costly yet common problem for diesel cars

New ‘one-shot’ fuel additive can prevent expensive component failuresBrighouse, Yorkshire- A new Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Cleaner and Regenerator, by Millers Oils, is helping drivers preserve essential diesel components and avoid costly repairs. Blocked DPFs are often caused by lower exhaust temperatures, an effect of short journeys and Stop-Start technologies. The new fuel additive provides a ‘one shot’ solution to this common problem, which can lead to increased emissions, reduced fuel economy and expensive repair bills. “Many drivers are unaware that their cars have a diesel
