The Scuderi Group has recently performed a computer simulation that compared the performance of the Scuderi engine to that of the European class of "high economy" vehicles. The results show that a turbocharged/air-hybridized Scuderi Engine can reach at least 63.5 US mpg (3.7 liters per 100 km), while emitting only 85 grams of CO2 per km.
The study shows that the average efficiency of typical, comparable cars sits at 52 US mpg (4.5 liters per 100 km), with average CO2 emissions of 104 g.km, with the comparison using models such as the Audi A1, Fiat 500 and Toyota Aygo, all fitted with their most economical Otto engine. We have to mention that the simulation was performed according to the new European driving Cycle (NEDC).
We'll remind you that the Scuderi Engine is a split-cycle powerplant, with its combustion cycle having two high-pressure stokes - compression and power. The unit offers the highest efficiency when using a turbocharger in Miller Cycle configuration, with the design also being optimized for air hybridization - a small air tank being applied to capture and reuse wasted energy.
“Our research results confirm that a typical European small car equipped with the Scuderi engine could realistically achieve significantly lower consumption of just 3.7 l/100 km with substantially lower emissions of 85 g/km. This would help car companies to achieve the 2020 fuel standards already in the near future,” says Lutz Deyerling, Vice President of European Operations and Corporate Strategy.
Scuderi Group will offer more details of the study at the upcoming Frankfurt Auto Show.
