Ricardo’s
Syner-D programme gives a pointer to how JaguarLandRover’s next-generation Hotfire
engine could progress towards meeting Euro 6 emissions requirements and CO2
reductions of over 30 per cent.
The Syner-D project, partly funded by the Technology
Strategy Board, the UK’s innovation agency, had as its main aim: to deliver a
premium vehicle demonstration vehicle offering a CO2 reduction of 30 per cent,
Euro 6 tailpipe emissions and suffering no compromise in transient variability
and overall performance.
The three-year programme included input from JLR, Valeo,
SKF, Shell and Lontra.
