Key advantages
The heat2power concept main characteristics :
- Fuel savings of about 15 to 35% under ALL driving conditions
- Reduction of CO2 emissions of about 15 to 35% (under same conditions and with same fuel)
- Regeneration system possible as Add-in and as Add-on solution
- Engine block and architecture remain the same and so does the associated tooling
- Gasoline-Otto/heat2power hybrid Engine costs approximately 30% more than a comparable turbocharged gasoline engine
(That is cheaper than a Diesel engine but with comparable fuel efficiency) Diesel/heat2power hybrid Engine increases fuel economy - High specific power of powertrain remains unchanged
- Mass and packaging are slightly impacted
- Compatible with all fuel types (Diesel, gasoline, ethanol, CNG, LPG, etc.)
- Complementary with Hybrid Electric Powertrain concepts
