Green Car Congress

AUGUST 10, 2011

This project will optimize fuel-based control of novel combustion strategies in light- and heavy-duty vehicles to enable diesel-like efficiencies with ultra-low engine-out emissions. Light-weighting materials. Increased availability of low cost carbon fiber can enable vehicle weight reduction and improvement in fuel economy.
