Fuel Efficiency Assessment

José Carmona, David Hildenbrandt, Florian Hofbauer et al. · Lecture notes in intelligent transportation and infrastructure · 2022

Abstract The assessment of fuel efficiency represents a vital element when it comes to the deployment and business model development of truck platooning. In this chapter, the methodological approach implemented in the Connecting Austria project to assess fuel efficiency is presented. The approach covers the following assessment aspects: (1) the assessment of the road infrastructure in terms of the suitability of road segments for truck platooning, (2) the assessment of driving behaviour and strategies for truck platoon formation and dissolution and (3) the assessment of efficiency in terms fuel savings for certain routes.

Cars Fuel Efficiency Prediction

Wael Al Thohli, Khalid Hilal Al Muaini, Laith Al Maharbi et al. · 2024

The subject of the present paper aims at analyzing the means of developing and using a complex database to estimate cars' fuel efficiency. Another component is the improved system of any number of parameters linked to the cars, fuel type, rate of consumption, and operational environment, which help in the development of plentiful models. The knowledge of these variables such as engine capacity, number of cylinders, and the weight of the vehicle goes a long way in enhancing models by engineers and researchers and general policies by distinct policymakers. Thus, the study focuses on the relevance of the predictive models in the most efficient fuel usage, the consideration of sustainability, as well as the further development of automotive engineering [1]. Linear regression is advocated as one of the important strategies of enhancing precision in predicting future values of variables on the basis of the past records. The idea in the end is to pave way for innovations and contribute to the growth of the green movement by improving on the vehicles [2].

Reframing Automotive Fuel Efficiency

Amory B. Lovins · SAE International journal of sustainable transportation, energy, environment & policy · 2020

<div>Electric powertrains’ astounding recent progress often eclipses comparable energy-saving potential from aggressively reducing tractive load, especially by ambitious lightweighting. Both strategies are valid and important, but their diverse benefits—transcending simple competition for fuel savings—are partly shared, often differentiated and synergistic, and all worth capturing. Far from becoming superfluous once traction is electrified, severalfold-lower tractive load can make electrification much cheaper, easier, and faster, with major side benefits. Yet these two strategies are currently out of balance, misallocating capital, effort, and time. That imbalance is amplified by the standard method for analyzing potential automotive efficiency gains—incremental and technology-by-technology. This highly refined methodology is valid for modest changes in components, but not for major changes in whole vehicles. Fifteen market vehicles and industry designs demonstrate that incremental technology analysis dramatically understates the fuel savings available from integratively designed vehicles and overstates their marginal cost. This analytic deficiency is stranding most industry strategies and government policies severalfold short of their proven efficiency potential. Traditional analytic methods and foresight processes thus need better concepts, sources, and formats. Industry incumbents—already challenged by insurgents in design, technology, finance, business model, and culture—can ill afford the further handicap of assuming that automotive efficiency potential is severalfold smaller and costlier than integrative design can actually achieve. And, in a world at risk from oil-linked conflict, disease, and climate change, the industry that holds so much of both problem and solution must not divert its unique capabilities and precious time to suboptimal choices.</div>

The New Fuel: Efficiency

Ben Sebree, Klas C. Haglid · Strategic Planning for Energy and the Environment · 2010

ABSTRACT Emerging new technologies can drastically reduce the energy consumption of buildings in the United States. In this article we look at overall energy usage, where our supply sources for energy emanate, and how they are used throughout the United States in the different demand sectors. With a goal to reduce buildings' energy consumption to zero energy, different building components are discussed, including the building envelope, HVAC, fenestration, lighting, energy recovery, hydroelectrics, photovoltaics, and energy recovery. We discuss the different components that are commercially available today.

Methods for Fuel Efficiency

Ayusman Acharya · 2025

This chapter discusses achieving sustainable aviation goals primarily through the application of fuel-efficient methods in the aviation sector. At the outset, the chapter discusses the growth of the aviation sector and its impact on various aspects of public life. The environmental impacts of aviation and its allied sectors are elaborately discussed. It further proceeds towards discussing the different types of technological and operational methods for achieving fuel efficiency in aircraft and in the field of aviation. Simple technologies like winglets and wiring weight to advanced technologies like D8 engines, BWB aircraft, 3D printing and TTBW design are discussed. Further, the chapter deals with operational methods of achieving fuel-efficient flights, which include CCO/ CDO methods, route optimisation, DPO and IFO. It separately deals with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), with an emphasis on its effects and scalability issues. To consolidate these methods, the chapter sets out a more general path to achieve sustainable aviation. It also delves into the challenges in achieving sustainability in aviation and some open questions to be addressed in future. The chapter finds that, to achieve sustainable aviation, creating fuel-efficient flights is crucial and it will only be possible with the collaboration of all stakeholders involved in the sector.

FOSSIL FUEL USE EFFICIENCY

Prepared Shahab Khoshmashrab, Steve Baker · 2009

proposed, would generate 400 megawatts (MW) (maximum net output) of electricity. This project would consist of two 100 MW plants (Ivanpah 1 and Ivanpah 2) and one 200 MW plant (Ivanpah 3), employing advanced solar power and modern steam turbine technologies. The ISEGS would use solar energy to generate up to 95 percent of its capacity, and natural gas to generate up to five percent of its capacity. The project would decrease reliance on fossil fuel, and would increase reliance on renewable energy resources. It would not create significant adverse effects on fossil fuel energy supplies or resources, would not require additional sources of energy supply, and would not consume fossil fuel energy in a wasteful or inefficient manner. No efficiency standards apply to this project. U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Energy Commission staff (hereafter jointly referred to as staff) therefore conclude that this project would present no significant adverse impacts on fossil fuel energy resources. The ISEGS, if constructed and operated as proposed would occupy over nine acres per MW of power output, a figure about double that of some other solar power technologies.

Swiss fuel cell car breaks fuel efficiency record

Fuel Cells Bulletin · 2005

A collaborative project in Switzerland led by ETH Zürich has set a new world record for fuel efficiency, at 5134 km per liter of gasoline equivalent, operating on a hydrogen-powered PEM fuel cell. The ETH engineers integrated current developments in fuel cell and propulsion technology, aerodynamics, lightweight construction and control technology as well as other fields into the advanced vehicle.
