Abstract The death of the combustion engine and the timing of its passing have been predicted on numerous occasions, most recently as a result of the ongoing diesel emissions scandal. The fact remains that currently there is no comprehensive alternative that is energy-neutral, can deliver regardless of demand, and offer the potential to fully replace the conventional engine. However, a variety of electrification technologies – from 48 volt mild hybrid systems up to full hybridization – can deliver improved efficiency from the combustion engine. Another strategy demonstrates a zero-emission vison by powering conventional engines using synthetic fuels gained from renewable sources such as DME.
