Graphic - Chart showing decreases in fuel consumption of an advanced hybrid car, compared to a conventional car today consumes 100 units of fuel.
For those who have read my previous posts, you know that the Car of Tomorrow (2030) is a hybrid electric plug-in. In what follows, you will see that when this car will operate in fuel, after exhausting grid electricity stored in its battery, plug-in hybrid car that tomorrow will consume 4 times less fuel on average than conventional cars today. For more, see the chart above.
First, experts agree that hybridization robust performance with a central electric motor can reduce fuel consumption third. To do this, you should use Li-ion whose efficiency reaches more than 98%, electric motors and high efficiency as well (some reach 96% today). For comparison, Ni-MH batteries, such as the Prius, are effective to about 75%. In a
Second, we can further reduce third the fuel consumption of hybrid car, improving its internal combustion engine using different technologies . The table below lists several. The first three (in orange) are quite independent of each other and together can provide a reduction in consumption approaching 25%. The other technologies listed all contribute to a better combustion and can not simply be added because they are competing with each other. I shall return to some of these technologies, but for the impatient you can always consult my book Driving without oil , where you will find details and references. Also, remember that the e mere fact of placing a gasoline engine with a diesel engine reduces fuel consumption by about 20% .
In addition to the many improvements we can make the combustion engine piston plug-in hybrid car of tomorrow is an extraordinary opportunity to try new types of rotary heat engines more efficient as potentially the Quasiturbine Gilles Saint-Hilaire, or motor RADMAX Reg / Regi Technologies. The idea is that these engines will be used no more than 75 000 km on the life of the car, since the majority of kilometers will be flown to electricity. The sustainability constraint is much less severe. Moreover, these rotary engines are about 4 times lighter and more compact than piston engines, while having far fewer moving parts. They should be cheaper. Such engines would simply drive a generator to recharge the battery, without being connected mechanically to the wheels.

Now, in the continued reduction of fuel consumption, even if we refer to the chart at the beginning, we see that it can be reduced by 25% more playing on the weight of the car, aerodynamics and tires . A realistic reduction of 30% of weight is accompanied by a decrease in consumption of about 18%. However, 30% is a figure realistic, as the company Fisher Coachworks announced marketing an upcoming plug-in hybrid buses, GTB-40, 40% lighter than traditional buses. To achieve the 25% reduction in consumption of our car, we can also use tires with low rolling resistance could reduce the consumption of 2% to 5%. The remaining 25% is obtained by taking care of the aerodynamic profile of the car.
At this point, we have a plug-in hybrid car advanced to central electric motor, which consumes three times less fuel than a conventional car today when operating in fuel mode.
The last step in our scenario to reduce consumption is to equip our car plug-in hybrid 4-wheel motors. These will give it an additional 25% of fuel consumption in mixed driving, as we saw in the previous post. then obtained, ultimately, reduced by a factor of 4 mentioned in the title of this post. consumption of a car through advanced hybrid would be 2 to 2.5 litres/100 km.
Moreover, if the plug-in hybrid cars are advanced 80% of their mileage to electricity these cars will consume 20% ÷ 4 = 5% fuel cars of today, 20 times least one year ! With small amounts such as these can not consider problems of sustainable development of second generation biofuels, made from waste, residues and non-food plant . We'll talk.
