Transonic Looking at Final Funding Round This Year, Production Deployment of Supercritical Fuel System in 2014; 50-75% Improvement in Engine Fuel Economy

Green Car Congress

The use of a supercritical fuel charge enables very fast and complete combustion with minimized thermal losses. The chart shows heat release from a standard diesel combustion cycle (solid black line), overlaid with the heat release from a TSCi cycle (dashed blue line). The TSCi charge is nearly invisible to the eye.

Tata Motors to supply 25 diesel series-hybrid buses to MMRDA

Green Car Congress

The series hybrid technology offers improved fuel savings on the order of 25-30%, reduction in emissions in comparison to conventional buses and can run on pure electric mode, for around 30-35% of the total travel distance. The batteries can be re-charged by the diesel, as well as through regenerative braking.
