The H-engine—basically two separate engines housed within the same engine block—comprises two switchable parallel piston banks, independently fueled by gasoline and CNG. Startup Eco-Motive has developed what it calls the first dual-fuel “H” engine; it recently received a patent (# 8807098 ) on the design.

Dutch start-up ECONAMIQ is developing a novel engine technology which saves up to 20% in fuel consumption. The “ECONAMIQ principle” uses flexible over-expansion in combination with cylinder deactivation technology to increase performance and efficiency without significantly changing the engine layout or architecture.

DOE also announced up to $35 million to advance fuel cell and hydrogen technologies, including enabling the early adoption of fuel cell applications, such as light duty fuel cell electric vehicles. Increased efficiency may be achieved using one or more proposed enabling technologies on a baseline engine. turbomachinery.

The only entry criteria for innovations are that they reduce CO 2 emissions from passenger cars; could be commercially deployed in 3–5 years; are on-vehicle, and; are compatible or could be easily integrated into the existing transport, energy and fuel infrastructures. The Exhaust port is located on the outer side of the engine block.

When reforming is not used, the fuel and exhaust pass through CV2 unchanged. A paper on their work was published online 5 February in the ACS journal Energy & Fuels. The basic concept of TCR involves using exhaust heat to promote on-board reforming of hydrocarbon fuels into syngas (a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen).
