Some more news on the waste heat recovery front:

Waste Heat Recovery System Receives Powertrain Innovation of the Year Award

Quote:
The Paris, France-based developer of a waste heat recovery (WHR) system, heat2power, won the Powertrain Innovation of the Year Award at the Professional Motorsport World Expo in Cologne (11-13 November) with its Thermal Energy Recovery System (TERS). heat2power says that its WHR system can provide fuel savings of 15-35% under all driving conditions at a cost of approximately 30% more than a comparable turbocharged gasoline engine.
