One focus of the project will be centered on light- and heavy-duty vehicles running on gasoline/ethanol blends in order to improve engine efficiency and lower emissions. This sequential ignition event allows lower peak pressure rise rates, and thus lower ringing intensity, thereby allowing more fuel to be injected to achieve higher load.
