One of the main challenges during the development of operating strategies for modern diesel engines is the reduction of the CO₂ emissions, while complying with ever more stringent limits for the pollutant emissions. The inherent trade-off between the emissions of CO₂ and pollutants renders a...

Automotive emission is becoming a critical threat to today's human health. Many researchers are studying engine designs leading to less fuel consumption. Gearbox selection plays a key role in an engine design. In this study, Taguchi quality engineering method is employed, and optimum gear ratios...
