General Motors last week again highlighted the progress it is making with advanced HCCI (homogeneous charge compression ignition) gasoline engines by showcasing a demonstrator unit. Najt, then at the University of Wisconsin, and David Foster published the first study of a gasoline-fueled four-stroke HCCI engine in 1983.).

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. Though the PHEV combines the two types of energy and power, it is not merely a temporary “transition” between gasoline and diesel cars to pure electric cars. by Professor Andrew Alfonso Frank. It is much more than that.

Johnson said that currently, Achates can deliver a 12-16% reduction in fuel consumption compared to the best diesel, and about 50% against gasoline, and with a cost and size reduction. An external air compressor feeds compressed air to the conditioning unit where it is mixed with exhaust gas. —David Johnson. The Achates engine.
