Independent study confirms cost savings & emissions advantages for heavy-duty trucks running ClearFlame’s engine technology

Green Car Congress

Ethanol’s shorter hydrocarbon chains (two-carbon atoms vs diesel’s twelve- carbon atoms) reduce or eliminate soot formation under typical engine conditions. ClearFlame’s cost per mile in this application is expected to be substantially lower than BEV and FCV platforms, primarily due to the high purchase costs of these platforms.
