IFPEN Transports Energie Carnot Institute will be present at the Intelligent Transport Systems & Services (ITS) World Congress from 11 to 15 October in Hamburg, Germany.
IFPEN researchers are focusing their efforts on ECH2 led by Vitesco Technologies. The aim is to improve electronic control systems for hydrogen vehicles and facilitate the large-scale deployment of fuel cells by reducing their cost and increasing their life span.
In order to reduce fuel consumption in gasoline engines, manufacturers are focusing their efforts on turbocharging and downsizing. However, this option leads to an increase in the knock phenomenon
Vehicle approval standards require increasingly high levels of engine performance (low fuel consumption and low emissions) over a broad working range. It is for this reason that new engine
In the aviation sector, fuels derived from hydrotreated vegetable oils (HEFA a) are seen as an alternative to petroleum based Jet A-1 b to reduce the environmental footprint of air transport. However
Gasoline direct injection engines emit soot particles during rapid transients. This still poorly understood phenomenon is taken into account during new WLTCs a, aimed at more accurately reproducing
The reduction in IC engine particle emissions requires a detailed knowledge of the physicochemical processes at work during combustion. While fuels have long since been considered as a constant for
In hybrid vehicles, onboard algorithms are aimed at splitting power between the various energy sources in order to minimize fuel consumption and/or pollutant emissions. This real-time management
Recovering heat from exhaust gases using the Rankine thermodynamic cycle a is one of the avenues being explored to reduce the energy consumption of IC engines. Tried and tested for stationary
