Cobra could enable a 5–10% reduction in CO 2 emissions when implemented in conjunction with engine downsizing and down speeding strategies, and potentially more when used in conjunction with alternative fuels, according to CPT. Unlike a turbocharger, Cobra is not dependent on the exhaust gases flowing to do its work.

Since this energy loss is primarily thermal in nature and can be attributed to the exhaust, cooling system, and engine and transmission surfaces, Mazda’s R&D team’s central focus is on improving the engine’s thermal efficiency cost-effectively. Extreme compression ratio rather than downsizing. Although downsizing—i.e.,

Researchers at ETH Zürich are developing a pneumatic hybrid engine—an internal combustion engine connected to a compressed air tank instead of a battery system. The compressed air supply also allows extreme downsizing. Downsizing the engine in this instance halves the number of cylinders from four to two. Rüegg / ETH Zurich.

Since the pistons cyclically expose or occlude the exhaust and intake ports, there is no valve train. Because the intake and exhaust ports are at the opposite ends of the cylinder, opposed-piston engines have efficient, uniflow scavenging.
