Wave rotor technology has been explored since 1906, although its first significant application was in 1940 by Brown Boveri Company (BBC, today ABB) which used it as a high pressure stage for a gas turbine locomotive engine. Mazda produced 150,000 Comprex diesel cars. Source: Piechna, 2004. Click to enlarge. Hîrceagã, M.,

Although the HPE approach can in concept be applied to both spark ignition (SI) and compression ignition engines (CI), after an evaluation of engine types, the team decided that downsized SI engines offered the best target for an HPE application. The concept engine uses the Bosch electro-hydraulic valve system (EHVS).
