Description du projet
Une solution hybride pour un usage durable des moteurs à combustion interne
La mobilité respectueuse de l’environnement représente un objectif stratégique majeur de l’UE qu’il serait plus facile d’atteindre en utilisant des technologies innovantes, des solutions électrifiées et des carburants alternatifs. Le projet PHOENICE, financé par l’UE, développera un démonstrateur de véhicule hybride rechargeable de classe SUV-C dont la consommation de carburant et les émissions polluantes seront conjointement minimisées dans des conditions de conduite réelles. PHOENICE cherche à atteindre le niveau 7 de maturité technologique en se concentrant sur le coût, l’industrialisation et la possibilité de maximiser les impacts économiques et environnementaux de différentes classes de véhicules.
Objectif
PHOENICE aims at developing a C SUV-class plug-in hybrid (P1/P4) vehicle demonstrator whose fuel consumption and pollutant emissions will be jointly minimized for real world driving conditions. This development will require the optimisation of a highly efficient gasoline engine, relying on a dual dilution combustion approach with excess air and EGR, synergizing an innovative in-cylinder charge motion with high pressure injection, novel ignition technologies, and an electrified turbocharger particularly relevant for hybrid architectures. The potential of alternative fuels produced by P2X processes will also be considered. To achieve the targeted near-zero emissions in transient conditions specific to PHEV in real driving conditions, the demonstrator vehicle will be equipped with a complete and dedicated after-treatment system including an electrically heated catalyst, a SCR and a GPF for abating NOx, particle number down to 10 nm, and non-regulated gaseous emissions.
The vehicle overall efficiency will be increased with an exhaust waste heat recovery system for generating an additional electric power contribution for cabin heating or cooling, or for reducing the switch-on time of the internal combustion engine in cold conditions, thereby limiting the engine-out pollutant emissions such as particles.
Virtual methods will be employed to reduce the calibration time of all the vehicle sub-systems. The vehicle control will use all the flexibility of the hybrid architecture and sub-systems to lower in real time the driving emissions and fuel consumption.
Technologies developed in PHOENICE will achieve a TRL 7 paying a specific attention to cost, industrialization, and to the use opportunity for various vehicle classes so as to maximize the economic and environmental impacts. This project will support the European automobile industry in the medium term and speed up the transition towards a more environmentally friendly mobility in terms of air quality and GHG emissions.
