Researchers at KAUST, Saudi Aramco evaluating low-octane fuels for gasoline compression ignition engines

Green Car Congress

Gasoline compression ignition (GCI) is an experimental engine technology that could consume 25% less energy than a conventional automobile engine. GCI uses a gasoline-type fuel, but rather than ignited with a spark, it is compression-ignited like diesel. Earlier post.)

KAUST team develops computational model for simulating soot production in gasoline direct injection engines

Green Car Congress

Researchers at KAUST have developed a computational model capable of simulating soot production inside gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines. This new computer model could help car makers improve their engines to cut soot formation. Gasoline contains straight and branched-chain aliphatics, aromatics, alkenes, and cycloalkanes.

News: 2024 Hyundai Kona

Clean Fleet Report

Offered in three models with gasoline or electric propulsion, the updated Kona will be an important part of the growing Hyundai electrified line-up. This design strategy is opposite of what most traditional car companies have done, which is design first for a gasoline engine, and then adapt it to an electric power plant.
