The Honda K-series engine is a line of four-cylinder four-stroke car engine introduced in 2001. The K-series engines are equipped with DOHC valvetrains and use roller rockers on the cylinder head to reduce friction. The engines use a coil-on-plug, distributorless ignition system with a coil for each spark plug. This system forgoes the use of a ...
Because a series-hybrid has no mechanical link between the ICE and the wheels, the engine can run at a constant and efficient rate regardless of vehicle speed, achieving higher efficiency (37%, rather than the ICE average of 20% [17]) and at low or mixed speeds this could result in ~50% increase in overall efficiency (19% vs 29%).
Edison Motors is a Canadian electric truck manufacturing startup based in British Columbia, specializing in diesel-electric plug-in hybrid technology for semi-truck prime-mover tractor units, full-size solid axle drive trucks, and heavy solid-axle pickups; combining a generator with electric drive motors and batteries.
This could mean a return to hybrid popularity. According to recent data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) , hybrid electric vehicles were 8.6% of the light-duty vehicle market ...
The hybrid truck — which also comes in standard internal combustion models, as well as a full EV model — also gets 22 miles per gallon (mpg) in the city, 24 mpg on the highway and 23 mpg ...
Current Honda general-purpose engines are air-cooled 4-stroke gasoline engines but 2-stroke, Diesel, water-cooled engines were also manufactured in the past. The current engine range provide from 1 to 22 hp (0.7 to 16.5 kW). More than 5 million general-purpose engines were manufactured by Honda in 2009.
Hydraulic hybrid vehicles (HHVs) use a pressurized fluid power source, along with a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE), to achieve better fuel economy and reductions in harmful emissions. They capture and reuse 70–80% of the vehicle's kinetic braking/decelerating energy and potential descending energy [ 1 ] compared to 55% for ...
The BMW E30 M3 is one of the most desirable products that the automakers has ever released. Despite soaring values, one owner felt it appriopriate to shove a Honda K24 engine into his Group A classic.
