This last event was a great opportunity to discuss the activities carried out over the past eight months, especially regarding the final development and testing of our prototype!
The PHOENICE demonstrator vehicle is now at IFP Energies nouvelles, integrating all the innovative subsystems developed throughout the project. FEV Italia s.r.l. has played a key role in the integration and calibration efforts, ensuring reliable incorporation of the technologies developed by the partners, with the valuable support of Centro Ricerche Fiat. With vehicle packaging completed …
A control strategy for the transitions among different combustion modes has been developed and tested at Politecnico di Torino facilities. The logic is based on two temperatures, the engine coolant temperature measured downstream the engine thermostat, and the inlet SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) temperature measured upstream the SCR device. The performance of different cycles including …
A key stage of the our project is to upgrade the reference vehicle, a JEEP Compass 1.3 PHEV Eu6d, to demonstrate the maximal potential of a plug-in hybrid vehicle, optimised to reduce both fuel consumption and pollutant emissions in real driving conditions. A few weeks ago, we announced that the PHOENICE prototype assembly was underway. …
A key stage of the PHOENICE project is to upgrade the reference vehicle, a JEEP Compass 1.3 PHEV Eu6d, to demonstrate the maximal potential of a plug-in hybrid vehicle, optimised to reduce both fuel consumption and pollutant emissions in real driving conditions. To perform this upgrade, the reference vehicle was first characterized at a roller …

Steady-state warm calibration of the PHOENICE prototype engine was conducted at relevant engine load points on IFPEN’s engine test bench. After calibrating with E10 (reference) fuel, we also used an alcohol-based fuel. In our case, E85 (containing 85%v of ethanol) was chosen. Tests were performed over a wide area to assess the potential of E85 …

Steady-state warm calibration of the PHOENICE prototype engine was carried out at relevant engine load points on IFP Energies nouvelles‘s engine test bench. A specific sequential methodology of optimization has been set to achieve the lowest fuel consumption while minimizing the pollutant emissions. This calibration has been performed on ~40 operating points: operating points defined as …
The PHOENICE EATS comprises two sections: a close-coupled section, primarily designed to control gaseous emissions under cold-start and stoichiometric (λ=1) conditions, as well as particulate matter, and an underfloor section, which is necessary for NOx conversion under lean conditions and to reduce the concentration of additional pollutants such as ammonia. The results of exhaust after-treatment …
