  • Report: Review of the Technology Costs and Effectiveness Utilized In
    Review of the Technology Costs and Effectiveness Utilized in the Proposed SAFE Rule Final Report Prepared for: California Dept. of Justice Sacramento, CA Prepared by: H-D Systems Washington, DC October 2018 i Biography of Report Author – K. Gopal Duleep Mr. Duleep is President of H-D Systems, a Washington based consulting firm specializing in automotive technology, emissions and fuels. He has been involved with automotive fuel economy issues for over thirty years, for clients in the public and private sector. He has extensive experience with issues surrounding automotive technology cost analysis and is an internationally known expert on automobile fuel economy technology. Mr. Duleep has directed several studies for public and private sector clients in the US, Canada, European Union (EU), Australia and Mexico evaluating new technologies for vehicular engine and fuel combinations (including methanol, natural gas and other alternative fueled vehicles) as well as high octane fuels in the US and the EU. These studies have compared technical feasibility, economics, performance, maintenance, and air emissions impacts. In 2007, Mr. Duleep served as the lead witness on automotive technology issues for the states of California and Vermont in their defense of the California greenhouse gas emission standards for light vehicles. The court ruled in California’s favor and found Mr. Duleep’s analysis more credible than those of the plaintiffs in every single area of challenge. He has been a consultant to several National Academy of Sciences Committees in their study of light vehicle fuel economy potential to 2030 and beyond. His work on fuel economy and GHG reduction technology for light-duty vehicles has been cited extensively around the world, and he has testified on transportation technology issues for the U.S.

One such recent and important develop- ment is the announcement of the Ecotec engine family by General Motors. This new engine range is a key development for the company since it will power 27 models by 2017. Ecotec engines have been built around the theme of smaller, lighter and cleaner, which is presently being pursued by automakers globally. This modular engine architecture is also claimed to reduce manufacturing complexities, making it easier for adoption on more vehicles. The engine portfolio includes 11 engines, both ECOTEC engines feature an aluminium cylinder block and head in favour of weight reduction three and four cylinder, ranging from 1 l to 1.5 l.

  • 2004 Saturn Vue Oil Type
    2004 saturn vue oil type These engines aside from the LX9 are the first cam in block engines to implement Variable valve timing , and won the Breakthrough Award from Popular Mechanics for this innovation. For the model year , the engine features optional displacement on demand or "Active Fuel Management" which deactivates a bank of cylinders under light load to increase highway fuel economy. It was rumored GM would produce a 3-valve design, but that never came to be. As of the model year, GM no longer sells these motors in any US market vehicles. It incorporates electronic throttle control. The engine offers improved performance and fuel efficiency, and runs smoother and quieter than earlier generation V6 engines. The V6 features an advanced powertrain control module , improved fuel injection system, a redesigned exhaust manifold and a new catalytic converter contribute to reduced emissions, as well as improved efficiency and performance characteristics. Improvements in cooling, sealing and the accessory drive system add to the engine's overall quality, reliability and durability. It was introduced for the model year and Monte Carlo. Bore is the same 99 mm 3. It includes continuously variable cam timing fixed overlap. It has a cast iron block and aluminum heads. In SAE ratings dropped the horsepower ratings to hp kW , keeping torque as is. On Pontiac G6 convertible models, horsepower was rated at hp kW. Note: GM often refers to this engine in its literature as a "3. The LZ9 has roller rocker arms, a variable length intake manifold , and Variable Cam Timing , a novelty on a pushrod engine.
