Summary

The ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) will remain the most prevalent form of automotive propulsion for at least the next 15 to 20 years. Modern internal combustion engines are becoming increasingly cleaner, more powerful and they are yielding better mileage thanks to such technical means as direct fuel injection. This paper will deal with emissions and mileage legislation, and will cover developments in engine technology. Starting in 2017, Europe will introduce the Euro 6c emissions standards with tough particle limits. CO₂ emissions will be limited to 95 g/km by the year 2020. We will go into detail about the effects of the new WLTC (Worldwide Harmonized Light Duty Driving Test Cycle) and RDE (Real Driving Emissions) test cycles on emissions and mileage. We will also examine in detail different means of reducing CO₂ and other emissions from downsized turbocharged engines featuring gasoline direct injection.
