After switching on the traction motors, the vehicle fuel economy increased from 50–100%. For the research vehicle, the system uses an 80V, 100A Li-ion phosphate battery pack with dual DC brushless motor controllers (one for each wheel motor). We have gained proof of concept in terms of feasibility.

In the most-general terms, the term “advanced combustion regimes” is intended to encompass clean and highly-efficient, liquid-fueled combustion engines. Such engines may incorporate novel thermodynamic cycles, but should not simply involve regurgitation of existing concepts (e.g., Alloy or Li metal anodes. Miller Cycle).
