The Performance of a Car with Various Engine Power Systems – Part II

Abstract

Reducing exhaust emissions from motor vehicles has become a major task in the design of modern motor vehicles. Internal combustion engines, despite the increasingly frequent restrictions on, for example, entry to city centers, still constitute the majority of the used motor vehicles. For these reasons, it is very important to properly operate and control the used motor vehicles, especially in the field of exhaust emissions. One way is to replacement of the vehicle fleet and individual cars with newer generation vehicles. Unfortunately, due to economic differences in the world, the rolling stock replacement process is not the same in all countries. However, despite these differences, even in less developed countries, efforts are being made to reduce vehicle emissions. This work presents road, bench and computational comparative tests of the fuel, economic, environmental and energy characteristics of a series car with a standard carburetor supply system and equipped with an electronic gasoline injection system and a three-component catalyst under operating conditions.
