Abstract
During the next few years the automotive manufacturers will be ready to face the new engines providing the EURO 5 and EURO 6 demands. Many configurations of the internal combustion engines have been made with an aim to reduce the harmful gasses and CO2 emissions by decreasing the fuel consumption. The architecture of the propulsion systems and engines developed through many years considers both the spark ignition and diesel engines, combined with a conventional electric motor and a battery package. The hereby paper aims to create models and to simulate the operation of a propulsion system and an internal combustion engine, with 4 cylinders when two of the engine cylinders are deactivated trying to study the behavior of both the propulsion system and the engine in these cases.
Keywords: CO2 emissions, cylinder deactivation, simulation, fuel consumption, ICE
