Hossein Ansari, Director
of Crouse Powertrains Group, at the 11th International Conference on Internal Combustion
Engines gave speech on the future of combustion engines in the country and pointing
to the Crouse plans and achievements and said: "The existing fossil fuel combustion
cause more greenhouse gas emissions and atmospheric pollutant, and given the
general use of internal combustion engines and machinery, the most important
debate is to reduce the amount of pollutants that can be achieved by reducing
fuel consumption."
Ansari mentioned the alternative
engines in the world and noted: "In some countries, plans have been put in
place to ban the use of internal combustion engines and replace them with
electric cars in the coming years. In our country, to achieve this, clean
electricity generation infrastructure must be created and electric cars and charging
stations should be easily accessible and usable. Limitations on resources such
as lithium, cobalt, etc., as well as its higher price in comparison to cars
with a internal combustion engine are among obstacles for expansion of electric
cars."

Director pointed out the need for improvement of internal combustion engines
and said: "Increased injection pressure using turbo charging, improvement
in combustion, smart and optimized fuel consumption management, selection of
appropriate displacement and weight for internal combustion engines, etc., can
help improve the performance of these engines.
Summing up the above
issues regarding the future of powertrains in Iran, he enumerated the solutions
and said: "The only ways to deal with the dangers ahead and continuing the
life of the internal combustion engines are improving the design and technology
of internal combustion engines based on the experiences of technology-savvy
countries, using the natural gas fuel in engines designed for this purpose, as
well as the design and production of hybrid cars."
Ansari cited the
localization of many components at Crouse, saying: "When Crouse started
dealing with the management of powertrains, the focus has been on localization,
and despite the current sanctions and related problems; Crouse has managed to
localize many advanced automotive components and to upgrade the technical
know-how of the personnel, who are the Company's core assets."
On Crouse's achievements
in local production of ECUs he said: "We at Crouse have been able to build
the most capable calibration team among the part makers, using the expertise
and experience of its engineers, which led to complete localization of 5th
generation ECUs. In the latest generation, which is newly localized, Crouse has
reached the ability to equip an electric throttle for internal combustion
engines."
Ansari continued: "Crouse
is fully capable of managing the engine and with the effort of this enterprise,
advanced lines for producing high-tech engines will be launched soon in the
country."

Director said: "Teams are formed at Crouse to study the development of
internal combustion engines as well as electric cars that have made significant
progress along the way, and Crouse effort has been to maintain a leading
position and stay at the forefront of change in topics related to internal
combustion engines.
