What is “Efficiency” ?

The dictionary defines efficiency as:

• The ratio of the effective or useful output to the total input in any system

• The ratio of the energy delivered by a dynamic system  to the energy supplied for its operation

Fuel Economy generally refers to how much distance a specific vehicle can be moved from A to B with a given volume of fuel.  Fuel Efficiency generally refers to how well the energy of the fuel is converted into useful work.

Fuel Economy

= 28.6 mpg

EPA City and Highway label values are calculated as weighted combinations of 5 key tests.  They are posted on the new vehicle’s window label along with a competitive segment position.  The city, highway and cold city cycles feature light engine loads and mostly low vehicle speeds.

Energy Supply from Internal Combustion EngineOnly about 1/3 of the fuel energy is converted by the internal combustion gasoline engine into vehicle work.  Advanced gasoline engine technologies (and diesels as well) are aimed at improving the efficiencies and reducing the losses associated with the other 2/3 of the energy available.

Where the Vehicle Energy is Spent in City Driving

Most of the fuel energy on a city type cycle is consumed by (repeatedly) accelerating the mass (weight) of the vehicle, but other vehicle demands & losses take energy also.

Where the Vehicle Energy is Spent in Highway Driving

Most of the fuel energy on a highway type cycle is consumed overcoming the aerodynamic drag of the vehicle, but other demands & losses take energy as well.

Summary

• Automobile energy efficiency can be viewed  as the relationship between Vehicle Demand Energy and Propulsion Efficiency over a given drive cycle

• Increasing energy efficiency should be a total vehicle exercise requiring detailed improvements in both Vehicle Demand Energy and Propulsion Efficiency

• Reductions in Vehicle Demand Energy typically provide better "Bang for the Buck" and are synergistic with electrification scenarios   

• Electrified powertrains require closer cooperation between the traditional mechanical and electrical disciplines to maximize energy efficiency
