English abstract:
Vehicle powertrains and engines are facing increasing demands for efficiency, causing decreasing C02-emissions, as well as demands for reducing limited emissions (especially NOx and Particle Number (PN)). According to the legislation in the EU the aim is to reduce the average COTemissions by new passenger cars to 95 glkm until 2021. Furthermore the upcoming emission legislation will introduce the WL TP and RDE test cycles, which result in a massive change in Ioad/speed characteristics and real test procedure on streets. In a midterm range the optimisation of conventional drive technologies and hybridization is not enough, alternative fuels are also vital. Depending on engine concept (SI, CI) exists a various fuel base like, fossil CNG for SI engine for high efficiency and low carbon emissions and clean exhaust emission, bio alcohols (especially ethanol) suitable for high performing SI engines with high environmental
compatibility caused by lowest emissions and bio diesei (like HVO) for CI engines with a good balance between environmental impact and engine performance. Beside these facts, alternative fuels facilitate more independence from the international oil market.
