The increasing number of vehicles has led to a higher demand for fuel, making fuel consumption a critical issue. Traditional methods have focused on lightweighting autobodies, but there is a need to reduce the weight of engine components to further enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.
- Lightweight material: The connecting rod is manufactured from a metal sheet, specifically a steel sheet with a thickness of 6mm.
- Robust design: Its hollow cylindrical structure provides high stiffness and reduced weight.
- Improved fuel efficiency: Significant decrease in the overall weight of the internal combustion engine, leads to improved fuel efficiency.
- Strength and durability: It maintains high stiffness and strength due to the design and material used.
- Efficiency: Engine performance is enhanced by reducing the weight of one of the critical components.
The technology has been developed and prototyped, demonstrating significant weight reduction and performance improvements in engine components.
Further refinement and large-scale manufacturing adaptations are underway.
The adoption of this technology can lead to a significant reduction in fuel consumption and emissions from vehicles, contributing to environmental conservation and sustainability.
- Automotive industry: Primarily for use in internal combustion engines of vehicles to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions
- Hybrid and electric vehicles: Lightweight components can also be beneficial in hybrid and electric vehicle engines to improve overall efficiency
