Conclusions
• Development of ICE will be mainly driven by reduction of fuel consumption and exhaust emissions
• Development trends: SI engines, Diesel engines
– High pressure direct injection– Downsizing and downspeeding, increase of power density– Boosting, 2-stage boosting– Variable valve trains and other variabilities (i.e. compression ratio)– Cylinder deactivation
• Modification of overall transmission ratio spread
• Intensive research and development (engine and transmission together) is still necessary
