Turning Mazda Car Exhaust Into Power
Welcome to Southern California Mazda Blog’s first post, we’ll be writing about Mazda cars, Mazda car issues, car culture, and Southern California driving.
Sierra Mazda is happy to report that scientists and engineers are competing to meet a challenge. The Challenge is from the United States Department of Energy, and the goal of the challenge is to improve fuel economy 10 percent by converting wasted exhaust heat into energy that can help power cars and trucks. Ten percent might no seem like a lot, but it can really add up. For example, 10 percent savings would amount to more than 100 million gallons of fuel per year in GM vehicles (we don’t have the statistics on Mazdas in the U.S. yet) in the U.S. alone.
How is this car energy savings accomplished?
