Original Abstract

A range extender engine seems to be the suitable solution to meet future requirements for CO2 emissions of passenger vehicles and simultaneous demands on an electric vehicle operating range, if acceptable weight of a vehicle powertrain should be kept. The paper presents crank train concept design of a spark-ignition in-line two-cylinder range extender engine derived from a three-cylinder engine which is manufactured by the ŠKODA AUTO Company. The motivation for the range extender engine utilization is mentioned as well as power requirements of a drive unit. Special attention is paid to the crank train dynamics and its balancing in particular and six variants of the crank train arrangement are designed and compared by virtue of this criterion.
