The first registrant in the Challenge is Libralato Engines, developer of a novel rotary engine (cutaway shown) promising a 5.5% gain in combustion efficiency and 50% reduction in NO x emissions. The engine does not require high manufacturing tolerances and wear of the rotors is not a mechanical constant.

When we launched our HDV efficiency program we stated a belief that HDV carbon dioxide emissions could be reduced by up to one-third. Vehicle fuel efficiency could be increased by 2 to 5% if lower drivetrain losses could be effectively halved which means this project has the potential to make a beneficial step change to the HDV industry.

The prototype is of the naturally-aspirated Split Cycle gasoline engine, and is intended to be a proof of the basic technology of the split cycle with firing after Top Dead Center (one of the key attributes of the engine and cycle). As a result, Scuderi said, combustion is four times faster than in a conventional engine.

The engine components are contained within a sphere. The first cycle is a “conventional” combustion engine process using a combustible fuel with the crankless (i.e., Fuel and air are compressed, then combusted. Any combustible fuel can work in the Reinhardt Turbine, the limiting factor is emissions control.
