COMBUSTION
Climate change is continuing to affect consumer attitudes,
and along with global emissions legislation it is increasingly
driving the evolution of the electrified powertrain. But
this doesn’t mean the end of the internal combustion engine
(ICE). Either as an exclusive means of propulsion or as a key
element in a hybrid system, the ICE will remain part of the
Developing the best tools to ensure

powertrain mix for years to come. However, to meet these new standards
and shifting demands, the ICE must be cleaner and more efficient than ever.
Of course, moving towards zero-impact emissions means considering the
entire energy chain, from well to wheel. The latest development approaches
consider every aspect of the journey from the extraction of the fuel –
whether that’s from fossil fuels, biofuels or e-fuels – right through to exhaust
aftertreatment, and even possible carbon capture and re-use.
While this reorientation is making ICE configurations more sustainable
in the long term, immediate attention must be given to increasing the effi-
ciency and reducing the emissions
of the engine itself. And this must
include optimizing engine development
tasks in order to manage complexity
while minimizing costs and
time-to-market. This is where AVL
