Summary

In order to attain ambitious emission fleet values of 95 g CO₂/km in 2020, the vehicle industry is working on appropriate regulations for the drive, (electrification), reduction of the vehicle resistance, as well as optimizing the architecture of new vehicles. A significant factor to achieve these ambitious goals is the reduction of weight and friction. In the field of engine components, this could be achieved by functional integration of components of similar function, e.g. integrating oil and vacuum pumps into a Mass Balancing System.
