Independent study confirms cost savings & emissions advantages for heavy-duty trucks running ClearFlame’s engine technology

Green Car Congress

Because this technology allows the engine to continue to operate on an MCCI diesel-like cycle, the engine maintains the high thermal efficiency and torque of traditional diesel engines. ClearFlame-based engine technology uses MCCI to maintain diesel engine cycle efficiency and torque. per mile, lower than natural gas by $0.09
