fuel-injector that is
nearing production readiness.

PALLADIUM, NICKEL, COPPER, TIN, BLACK
NICKEL, AND CHROME COLOR PENS AVAILABLE.
And most industry experts
agree that hybrids - conventional
and plug-in - will remain
a linchpin technology in managing
the transition to EVs. " The
real near-term potential for
transportation to decarbonize is
in the marriage between electrical
and mechanical, " said
Stanadyne's Pinson.
There will be considerable activity
and investment in improving
ICEs, but many automakers have
stated that development of allnew
engines has been eliminated.
" The industry's effort to create
new combustion engines is totally
reduced, " said Thomas Stierle,
member of the Vitesco executive board and head of the supplier's
Electrification Technologies business unit.
" While there may be " new " engines, I don't believe that any
significant/radical ICE propulsion systems will be introduced
into the market at high enough volume to impact a full-line
manufacturer, " said analyst Pannone. " There are diminishing
returns on adding technology - downsizing with turbocharging,
cooled-EGR, cylinder deactivation. All impact engine
pumping losses. Therefore, there will be much less opportunity
to reduce pumping losses in future ICEs that already have
these technologies. Similar situations exist for thermal efficiency
and parasitic losses. I believe non-plug-in hybridization
is the best path for ICE-based powertrains. "
Ohio State's Atkinson also sees a direct impact for hybridization.
" There's no good reason today that every vehicle
should not be a hybrid, and by that, I don't mean a plug-in
hybrid, " he said. " But thereafter, there's no good reason why
vehicles should not be plug-in hybrid. You get the best of
both worlds with respect to that combination. "
" We definitely think hybrids are the right thing to do for the
next 10 to 15 years, " added Patrick Lindemann, president of
e-mobility and chassis systems for Schaeffler Group.
" Electricity is the right choice. "
AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING
Environmentally friendly, these low-cost disposable applicators
permit instantaneous selection from a variety of plating
possibilities without the preparation of solutions. Specially
formulated compounds and can be used for contact repair,
prototype development work, electronic instrument repair,
medical instrument repair etc.
