Abstract:

This report is a preliminary survey of the technological feasibility of reducing the fuel consumption of automobiles. The study uses as a reference information derived from literature, automobile industry contracts, and testing conducted as part of the program requirements. The design changes, which are recommended for the purpose of maximizing fuel economy, have been derived after lengthy review against a series of constraints including regulatory requirements, technical feasibility, and cost effectiveness. Several possible technological improvements are identified, documented, and evaluated with respect to fuel economy. Results are reported as percentage improvement in fuel economy by comparison with 1973 model year vehicles. The effect of vehicle emission control systems is considered in the evaluation procedure. The most promising individual improvements are incorporated into improvement for these vehicles is reported. The status of the technology reported is that available in the time period of July 1973 to January 1974. Volume II consists of two parts, Volume II A and Volume II B.
