Alternative powertrain •
reduction of fuel consumption from raw oil – – – – –
•
alternative natural gas fuel powertrain efficiency (DI, downsizing, transmissions, driving strategies) electrical motor supply (hybrid, batteries,…) FC technology (system efficiency, H2-fuel, buffer-batteries) alternative fuel + energy storage systems
reduction of GHG – alternative fuels supply (natural gas supply,…) – bio- and syn-fuels (biomass products + process combination) – engine efficiency
•
reduction of local emissions (esp. in cities) – fuel type (natural gas, clean synth. fuel types) – engine efficiency + control – regeneration strategy

Conclusion •
natural gas powertrain has potentials to reduce CO2-emission and tailpipe emissions
•
natural gas vehicles will be still of interest on the vehicle market and will expand; proposed are 6% alternative vehicles in 2015 in the EU (source: F&S) and 24% of it with Biogas / Natural Gas, abs. 1.5%, mono-fuel vehicles have been proposed
•
natural gas fuel type should consist of 97% ± 2%
•
aside flexible light weight vehicle design will support FE activities and CO2-reduction
•
downsizing of engines helps to use the FE potential of CNG optimized engines and a FE improvement of about 10% to 15% can be achieved (supercharging)
•
rising load pressure up to 300 bar will help to improve vehicles range by 22% plus optimized refuelling quantity (refuelling station)
•
from todays vehicle range of 450 km a future target range of 600km and above should be reached (depending on OEM‘s philosophy, example CNG600)
•
lightweight fuel tank design will support to reach range/attractiveness
