Fuel economy gains via existing tech eyed in study
Cambridge based Arthur D. Little engineers say a federally funded review finds up to 43 percent better fuel economy possible with current designs. Improvements include transmissions with four gear ratios, lighter bodies, reduced frontal area, and drag reduction. Diesel engines and alternative powertrains could boost savings 15 to 30 percent.
