The prototype is fueled by diesel, a first step in proving the technology before developing a new LNG fuel system. The thermodynamics of the engine are virtually identical to the company’s previous CCI (Compact Compression Ignition) design, as described in a 2013 SAE paper, but are implemented in a much more conventional way.
