Shedd said the engine could be up to about 30% more efficient than a standard diesel engine, depending on the engine load and speed. The K6 engine represents a unique combination of previous concepts. In contrast, he says, the K6 can be made by modifying existing diesel engines in a way that is both realistic and manufacturable.
