Despite the increase in the market share of electric vehicles in recent years, the alternative internal combustion engine (MCIA) continues to be the most widely used drive system in the automotive sector and is expected to continue to be used in the coming decades, as explained by researchers at the CMT Thermal Motors of the UPV Ricardo Novella and Jaime Martín, and José Padilla, head of Product Marketing in Littlefuse, during the seminar organised by the BP Chair in Industrial Environment.

Under the title "Trends in the new generations of alternative engines", and with the attendance of 64 people, the experts have delved into some of the new technologies that will enable the development of cleaner and more efficient engines. In the coming years, despite the possible increase in electric vehicles, approximately 98% of the cars on the streets will still be driven totally or partially (in hybrid systems) by an internal combustion engine, whether diesel, gasoline or gas.

The problem of global warming and the need to adapt to future restrictions make these engines face the challenge of improving their performance, reducing their consumption and pollutant emissions (NOx, CO, particles...).

Two of the lines of development in which the CMT Motores Térmicos de la Universitat Politècnica de València is working were presented at the seminar. The first project, carried out together with the multinational Littelfuse, focuses on engine ignition systems, the operation of which has a direct impact on engine reliability and emissions.

The second line, the European Dieper project, has made it possible to develop a new, low-consumption diesel engine that reduces emissions of polluting particles by more than 80% with respect to current legal limits. This project, promoted by the Austrian multinational AVL, has also involved important entities and companies in the automotive sector.

The Chair arose out of the interest of BP Oil España and the Universitat Jaume I in providing mechanisms to facilitate research and dissemination in the field of the industrial environment, as well as bringing the world of education closer to the reality of industry.

In its commitment to the environment, it wishes to contribute to its well-being through actions aimed at disseminating knowledge and promoting environmental awareness. This is why they invite teachers, researchers and company professionals to collaborate with the Chair.
