Wisconsin Engine Research Consultants LLC. This project will enable diesel-like efficiency and increased maximum power output in a gasoline engine by using a secondary fuel to suppress engine knock under high load. Increased availability of low cost carbon fiber can enable vehicle weight reduction and improvement in fuel economy.

Though the PHEV combines the two types of energy and power, it is not merely a temporary “transition” between gasoline and diesel cars to pure electric cars. Since it can refuel from a standard household outlet and from a gasoline station, it needs no new infrastructure. It is much more than that. Engineering Advantages of the PHEV.
