Grant Description: Area of Interest III- Efficiency Clean Combustion and Fuels Co-Development This area supports the objectives of the Advanced Combustion Engine R D subprogram, focusing on removing critical technical barriers to commercialization of higher efficiency, advanced internal combustion engines in passenger and commercial vehicles. The goals were to improve the efficiency of internal combustion engines for passenger vehicle applications from 30 percent in 2002 and now to 45 percent by 2010, and for commercial vehicles from 40 percent in 2002 and now to 55 percent by 2013, while meeting cost, durability and emissions constraints. The research in this activity focuses on developing technologies for passenger vehicle engines operating in advanced internal combustion regimes, including Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) and other modes of low-temperature combustion (LTC), which will increase efficiency beyond current advanced diesel levels and reduce engine-out emissions of Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and Particulate Matter (PM) to near-zero levels. This will allow the use of lower-cost emission control systems with little or no parasitic energy consumption and greater durability. By overcoming these challenges, more efficient combustion engines can be cost-competitive with current gasoline engines and will gain greater market penetration in passenger vehicles.
