Abstract

Diesel engines in commercial vehicles today work extremely efficiently. For example, in long-haul trucks, it is possible to convert about 40 percent of the energy chemically bound up in the fuel into forward movement. A large portion of the currently-unusable energy
escapes into the environment as exhaust heat. More and more manufacturers of commercial vehicles are working on new concepts, which convert some of the exhaust heat into kinetic energy. In this way, the fuel consumption of heavy trucks is expected to be cut by
a minimum of 5 percent. Freudenberg Sealing Technologies supports such developments with innovative sealing solutions.
