FPT International introduces 8.7-liter CNG engine in China

Green Car Congress

The Cursor 9 CNG offers power up to 400 hp @ 2000 rpm, and torque up to 1700 N·m @ 1.200 rpm, while at the same time having emissions lower than Euro VI. To comply with Euro VI the Cursor 9 CNG does not need Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) or Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), but relies on a simple three-way catalyst.

Brunel engineers optimizing CAI combustion in 2-stroke camless gasoline DI engine

Green Car Congress

Many approaches have been attempted to achieve CAI operation on the four-stroke spark ignition engines, such as intake air heating, high compression ratio, dual fuel, recycling the exhaust gas, and so on. To minimize the air short-circuiting rate, the intake and exhaust valve timings were adjusted. Earlier post , earlier post.).
