The engineers tested a prototype 100cc engine on a dyno to gather steady-state fuel consumption, emissions, and combustion stability data over a matrix of speed, load, mixture ratio, and combustion phasing. Four engine control modes were evaluated with the goal of reducing NO x and minimizing fuel economy impact.
