RCCI is a dual-fuel combustion technology developed by Dr. Rolf Reitz and colleagues at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Engine Research Center laboratories. The process involves introduction of a low reactivity fuel into the cylinder to create a well-mixed charge of low reactivity fuel, air and recirculated exhaust gases.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The car can refuel during periods of low demand on the grid, and if equipped with a bi-directional charger, can actually replenish the grid with excess energy gleaned from a renewable resource. It is much more than that.
