Trends in motor design: downsizing
In general:
Downsizing describes the method, by which „smaller“ motors reach the same performance data as motors with larger cubic capacity.
hofer-approach:
The starting point ist an optimised fuel consumption and associated reduction of the emission by at least equivalent driving performance.
Our approach takes into account the following points:
- Reducing of the cylinders´ number
- Reducing of the swept volume
- Tribologic charecteristics
- Simulation and virtual testing
- Charging concepts
- Valve train concepts
- Compaction concepts
- Oil content concepts
- Cooling system concept
- New technologies: hybrid, immediate-start etc.
