AVL Conference: Clean diesel in demand
The “Engine and Environment 2014” conference in Graz organized by AVL List was about further optimizing the combustion engine and achieving the ambitious CO2 goals.
AVL Conference: Clean diesel in demand
At the conference, which was well attended by international industry celebrities, strategies were presented that should make diesel engines even cleaner in the future. For example, Stefan Möhn, head of development for the V6 TDI engine at Audi, showed the roadmap for the future diesel future. To this end, the developers are working on further reducing friction in the engine, relying on variable oil pressure pumps and more efficient turbochargers and optimizing thermal management, among other things with separate cooling of the cylinder head and engine block. Lightweight construction, downspeeding the engine speed using the dual clutch transmission and the electrification of the drive train should also contribute to a reduction in diesel emissions. In any case, the experts agreed that the combustion engine will remain the dominant drive in private transport for many years to come.
