Vehicle manufacturers are struggling to find cost effective ways to improve fuel efficiency by just a few percent points, but this combination has the potential to dramatically exceed that number and be a major advance for the industry. Rebreathing enabled reduced boost pressure, while greatly increasing exhaust temperature.
