Gasoline Systems
FEV
offers new technologies to its customers that address future emission
and fuel economy standards, while fulfilling market demands for engine
performance and acoustics.
FEV's highly-qualified technical staff assists its
customers in every aspect of combustion system development. At FEV, we
not only acquire combustion data for our customers, we recommend and
implement cost effective, production feasible solutions. FEV is much
more than a testing service provider; we are a respected engineering
partner and a logical extension of your own development resources.
FEV is acknowledged worldwide as a leading developer of high
technology combustion systems for advanced gasoline, diesel and
alternative-fueled engines, including engine integration and in-vehicle
calibration services.
We offer new technologies that address future emission and fuel
economy standards, while fulfilling the market demands for engine
performance and acoustics with short development cycles at high quality
and reduced costs.
Testing
and application is improved by methods empowered by model-based
approaches. Therefore, FEV developed an environment called TOP-expert,
which combines the methods with their realization both on a test bench
as well as through vehicle applications.
FEV
is working on the continuous optimization of existing gasoline engines,
as well as a vast array of future gasoline engines and powertrains.
Fuel
Consumption Reduction of passenger car engines can be regarded as one
of today’s most urgent issues that need to be addressed.
FEV
has more than twenty years of experience in simulation and testing of
turbocharged and supercharged engines, using commercially available
software and in-house developed software and tools.
Stratified
lean combustion is one of the most efficient measures to improve
high-pressure cycle efficiency. In combination with a higher
compression ratio, fuel consumption can be improved significantly.
Modern
engine development time can be effectively reduced using CAE
methodologies. Particularly in the concept and design phase, CAE
methodologies enable the achievement of a pre-optimized state, which
helps to avoid large time-consuming modifications to the detail of the
design.
Emission regulations for the automotive sector are continuously being tightened by governments around the world.
FEV is working on the continuous optimization of existing gasoline engines.
FEV
specialists are skilled in using advanced measurement and offline
modeling tools, to ensure time and cost effective development and also
to get a better understanding of the thermodynamic optimization
processes.
The
modern automotive powertrain development process is characterized by a
steep increase in the number of vehicle variants and engine
applications, while increasing demands are being placed on the
manufacturers regarding product quality, fuel efficiency, emissions,
durability, NVH, robustness and cost.
