AUGUST 4, 2009

Given the high reactivity of diesel fuels compared to gasoline, the ignition and combustion of pre-mixed fuel-air charges poses a challenging control problem. The technology is optimized with modern high compression diesel architecture engines, near-term running on gasoline while longer-term utilizing advanced low carbon footprint bio-fuels.
