Development of Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) For Energy Recovery in Perodua Myvi

Over the decades, the automotive industry has shifted its interest towards producing
more and more fuel efficient car such as the hybrids which would not only reduce
fuel consumption, but also maintaining as much as possible the great performance of
a car. A technology such as thermoelectric generator has also play its role in the
recent years with greater emphasis on recovering waste heat from the engine.
Conventional ICE loses as much as 40% of energy from the fuel in the form of
exhaust heat and recovering this portion of energy would therefore increase the
engine efficiency as well as reducing unnecessary loads on the engine.
