This engine will also be more efficient than conventional diesel engines, but without the additional cost incurred by diesel fuel injection and complex exhaust aftertreatment. Although Achates’s work to date has been with diesel, its fundamental approach is suited for advanced combustion regimes using other fuels as well.
